BRYONY FROST got turned over on a hot favourite as Robbie Dunne won the first at Ludlow – the first race the two jockeys’ had squared off in since their bullying row went public.
The two came close together at points in the 2m race over hurdles.
But they stayed apart on the thrilling run-in, with Dunne just poking ahead of Frost when it mattered most.
Sun Racing columnist Frost was aboard the heavily fancied Paul Nicholls runner Rainyday Woman.
But the 1-2 fav just ran out of gas as Dunne found more on 5-1 Cup Of Coffee for trainer Samuel Drinkwater.
This was Dunne’s first victory since returning to the saddle yesterday after spending months out through injury following a fall in August.
The duo’s showdown followed the leaked report of a BHA investigation into the behaviour of Dunne towards Frost.
Frost made an official complaint to the authority after she alleged Dunne stood in front of her naked in the weighing room and repeatedly swore and shouted at her at a number of fixtures.
Dunne denies the allegations and the weighing room has shamefully kept silent on the issue with the PJA even calling for an end to the investigation.
