Traditional Bells wins the maiden at Bonvilston ...Eliza waits to present a trophy [01:26]
A popular winner of the day at Bonvilston pt to pt near Cardiff was 'Traditional Bells' who was ridden by Evan David to win the maiden .

So even though it is an amateur sport; it is nice for the winner to have something by which to remember the day their horse won its first race....

Here I interview Hannah adams to see what it felt like to ride in a point to point for the first time...
