Victoria Pendleton to race at Beverley

Former Olympic cycling champion Victoria Pendleton will feature in her second amateur race as a jockey at Beverley next Tuesday.

Victoria Pendleton has revealed that she is looking to put in "another good performance" in her second appearance as a jockey.

Last month, Pendleton, a former Olympic cycling champion, narrowly missed out on a win on her debut with Royal Etiquette at Ripon, but the two-time gold medal winner has admitted that she is excited ahead of her second experience in the amateur ranks at Beverley next Tuesday.

The 34-year-old is quoted by the Hull Daily Mail as saying: "I'm really looking forward to riding at Beverley in the Betfair Supports Amateur Riders' Handicap and experiencing that feeling again.

"But more importantly these races really give me a chance to test myself against other amateur jockeys in preparation for Cheltenham in March and I hope that I can put another good performance in on the 22nd."

Pendleton is hoping to compete in the Foxhunter Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, which begins on March 15.
