As long as she behaves herself in the final race of the Betfair Apprentice Series at York tomorrow, Kirsty Milczarek is set to win all expenses-paid working holiday worth £5,000 with a leading world trainer.

Kirsty

Milczarek is 12 points clear in the series and, with only five points awarded to the winner, at first glance her lead looks unassailable.

But she has been warned that she could be deducted 10 points if she transgresses the rules of racing tomorrow, so it is possible that she could still lose out.

Richard Perham, Jockey Coach at The British Racing School, explained: "Points are awarded for the riders conduct, professionalism, preparation, presentation and riding ability on the day. The jockey coach will start each rider with 6 points and add or deduct points for what is judged by him to be good or poor practice.

"But some riders have had 10 points deducted as they had received suspensions from the stewards on the day. This was set up to make the riders think about the rules of racing prior to riding in one of these races. Breaking the rules can be costly."

Milczarek is aware of the possibility but said (in the style of an Oscar award-winner!) yesterday: "Having won the Teletext Hands and Heels Series last year it's fantastic to go on and win the Betfair Training Series this year.

"I have quite a few people to thank. My boss Neville Callaghan and all the other owners and trainers who have kindly provided me with rides in the series, in particular my agent Neil Allen, who has worked hard to secure me rides in the series, and sponsors Betfair, who have supported the series and put up such a great prize."

And if she wants some advice then she can ask Danielle McCreery, who also has a ride in the race tomorrow. McCreery won last year's series, and is jetting off to South Africa in November to join Mike de Kock for a month. She will be writing a daily blog of her stay there for the Betfair site.

Betfair's senior press officer Tony Calvin commented: "We believe these types of initiatives and incentives are crucial in the development of young and up-and-coming jockeys, as Kirsty has herself shown in progressing from winning the Hands and Heels series last year.

"We will be speaking to Kirsty about her preferred prize destination and arranging thereafter, but I would particularly like to thank the RCA's Maryann Sandercock and Richard Perham for their efforts in making the series so successful once again."
