Mother of winning jockey brings him back down to earth with hilarious TV interview

A winning Cheltenham jockey's mother tried to find him a girlfriend in a TV interview after his victory.

Tom Bellamy tasted success at the Festival for the first time as White Noise regained the winning thread in the Ryanair Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle.

ITV Racing presenter Matt Chapman caught up with his mother, Sue, after Tom's win, which she described as "what dreams are made of."

"A big price, great for the yard, the lads, lasses, everybody – and the mother who has to put up with him on the way home when things have gone badly," she joked, adding that she hoped the win would bring him a girlfriend.
