A cousin of ex-Chelsea and Barcelona star Marcos Alonso has been handed the chance to take on Frankie Dettori and other top riders on the racetrack.
Spanish jockey Victoria Alonso, 20, has been invited to compete in the International Jockeys Challenge in Saudi Arabia next month during the Saudi Cup meeting.
Alonso, who finished sixth in the Spanish jockey rankings last year, comes from a rich sporting heritage.
