An 18-year-old took first place as she became the first jockey to race in a hijab in Britain.
After only sitting on a racehorse for the first time in April, student Khadijah Mellah rode to victory on Haverland in the all-female Magnolia Cup at Goodwood.
The Muslim teenager from Peckham, south London, hopes her triumph will serve as a beacon to others.
“Ambitious women can make it and that is what I want to represent,” she said.
“I’ve had so much support and I can’t wait to see other stories of other women doing the same and getting into the industry.”
Ms Mellah is set to study mechanical engineering at university in September and learnt to ride at the Ebony Horse Club charity in Brixton.
She claimed a tight victory after making her move in the final furlong of the amateur charity race, with the blanket finish tensely going to the judges.
