Young jockey beats Sean Bowen for first Cheltenham winner!
Fantastic!
Freddie Keighley is the son of trainer Martin Keighley, with the stable no strangers to success at Cheltenham with their base just a few miles down the road.
Freddie and his brother used to ride finishes on the wall by the weighing room at the track when they were young children, but time certainly passes quickly and Freddie is now making his own career in the saddle with opportunities now cropping up for 14-time champion trainer Paul Nicholls.
Riding the 22/1 De Temps Un Temps here for his father, the young Keighley looked down and out after his mount badly stumbled on landing after the second-last hurdle but the pair rallied to some effect to deny the champion jockey Sean Bowen in a driving finish to record a first winner at Prestbury Park for the young rider.
A moment Keighley and the family certainly won't ever forget!
