AGA Total Control Ladies' Championship

In addition to its overall sponsorship, this season AGA is launching an exciting riders championship for lady riders - the AGA Total Control Ladies' Championship - with the winning rider receiving the fabulous new AGA Total Control cooker as her prize - worth almost £10,000.

This new dimension to the sponsorship introduces a new element of competitiveness and excitement.

Points can be earned at 28 AGA-sponsored Ladies' Open Races, which are also qualifiers for the AGA Ladies' Hunter Chase Final at Cheltenham in May. Points can also be earned for the Championship at a further 22 Ladies' Open races - although these races are not qualifiers for the final itself. Points earned in the Cheltenham final will count double. 

Points will be awarded to riders finishing in the first four places in each of the 51 races. For the purpose of the Championship each rider can only count the points from their best five results during the season, plus the final at Cheltenham (making six races in total).

If there had been this championship for lady riders last season, then this would have been the listing of the top 10 on the day of the final.

With 20 points available for the winner all 10 would have still been in with a shout of winning the Championship. Going to the last at Cheltenham, Sarah-Jane Davies was in front, but on the run in Jane Williams took the lead.
