Her first Cheltenham Festival winner was Pacha Du Polder in the Foxhunter Chase in 2017 and her first Grade 1 was Frodon in the Ryanair Chase in 2019.
Bryony Frost Big Race Wins
Frost has formed an amazing alliance with Frodon who has supplied her with many of her biggest triumphs. He won the Old Roan Chase at Aintree and the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup in 2018 followed by the Cotswold Chase and the Ryanair Chase in 2019. His more recent victories include the Silviniaco Conti Chase and King George in 2020 and the Ladbrokes Champion Chase at Down Royal in 2021.
She has four Grade 1 victories in total, two with Frodon and two with the two-mile chaser Greaneteen. He won the Tingle Creek Chase and the Celebration Chase in 2021.
Bryony Frost Most Famous Victories
Frost’s brilliant all-the-way win on Frodon in the 2019 Ryanair Chase was one of her finest rides. Trainer Paul Nicholls had considered running the horse in the Gold Cup but wisely opted for the shorter Ryanair and Frost confidently sent him straight to the lead. He was headed at the second last by 33-1 outsider Aso but refused to be denied and fought back tenaciously to win by a length and a quarter.
Frodon and Frost repeated the performance in the King George in 2020. Starting at 20-1, he was seemingly the third choice of the Nicholls runners behind favourite Clan Des Obeaux and the talented Cyrname. Frodon made all the running and had enough in reserve to hold the fast-finishing Waiting Patiently with Clan Des Obeaux third and Cyrname pulled up.
