Oli Bell just promoting riding club

The Muslim jockey, who has tackled many different sports and is a black belt in karate, is a particular fan of the fundraising athlete Manal Rostom, founder of the women-only online support group Surviving Hijab.

Bell says: “Khadijah sent her a message saying: ‘You’re an inspiration’. She told me, if one person messages me and says I’m an inspiration that would make me the proudest person. She’s a real titan. She might only be 18 but when we asked her about doing this, she said yes, 100%.”

Mellah’s parents recall their daughter’s ambitions by saying: “There’s this mosque in Brixton, sometimes we go for Arabic classes or religious celebrations, and we were walking past and my mum saw a leaflet up in the window. She was like, ‘There’s a riding club in Brixton’. I was like, yeah, Mum, sure. Absolutely no way. Oh my God, there is!”

It was with the aim of raising the club’s profile that Bell, who is a patron, arranged for one of its riders to take part in the Magnolia Cup. Khadijah’s response was: “Oooh a race, that sounds cool.”

“She looks tidier than I do,” her mentor Turner says, as they compare styles on adjacent equicizers, or mechanical horses. She tells Khadijah to “tie a knot in the end of her reins, so it doesn’t hang down and catch around her boot, and explains the importance of not relaxing when the winning post is reached, which has led to more than one unseated rider in past Magnolia Cups.”

Next autumn, Mellah plans to be studying mechanical engineering but she may continue riding out in Newmarket and her younger brother, Abdus, will keep her apprised of the latest in racing as he seeks a jockey’s career.

“I’ve grown closer to my brother because I now see eye to eye with him about racing. It’s something he’s very into and now that I’m into it too, we can have a good conversation,” she says.

Does she wear a headgear like the won Del Boy was selling?

good luck to her

Brixton teenager Khadijah Mellah has won the Magnolia Cup on Haverland. The 18-year-old, who is studying for her A-levels, kept her cool on Charlie Fellowes's inmate, bringing the four-year-old home up the stand rail.

A story racing couldn’t afford not to happen.

There is no such thing as a Muslim jockey just like they're are no Christian , Seventh Day Advestest or Buddist jockeys

A few broken hearted forumites today.
