Overview
- Bellamy, 31, rode 40-1 outsider White Noise to win the Ryanair Mares' Novices' Hurdle on day three at Cheltenham, defeating odds-on favourite Bambino Fever.
- It was his maiden Cheltenham Festival success, and he told ITV he had worked his whole life for the moment and was left speechless.
- Moments after the win, his mother, Sue Bellamy, told ITV’s Matt Chapman she hoped it might help him find a girlfriend.
- ITV Racing displayed a spoof Tinder profile for Bellamy and later aired his humorous video introducing himself and listing hobbies like riding horses, golf and watching cricket.
- Reports framed the viral clip against Bellamy’s resilience after setbacks including a 2018 suspension following a failed breath test and a broken wrist at last year’s Grand National.
