Frost to team up with Munir and Souede in France
Rider gets retained role as she embarks on new summer challenge.
Simon Munir and Isaac Souede have announced that Bryony Frost will become the retained rider to their operation in France. The owners, who are famed for their double green colours, are aiming to expand their French racing team to run alongside their breeding programme, with many of their best performers sourced from across the Channel. In March, Frost spoke of her decision to search for more opportunities in France after finding herself less in demand than in previous years, and with the French season still in full swing, she will begin the role immediately. “We are delighted to announce that Bryony Frost will be joining Team Double Green with immediate effect,” read a statement posted by Munir on X. “Her prime responsibility will be to be our retained jockey in France. We have raced horses in France since 2010 and have enjoyed much success. “We have decided to once more grow our team of horses in France to complement our Raffles breeding operation. Team Double Green France is managed by former jockey Benoit Gicquel. “We have patiently been waiting for the right opportunity to retain our own jockey in France. “Bryony’s decision to move to France has not only presented us with that opportunity but meant that we have appointed an experienced, talented jockey for Team Double Green.” Though Frost has received less rides this term, her season was not without success as she enjoyed an Aintree victory aboard Paul Nicholls’ Sans Bruit. Following that win she spoke of the sparse opportunities in Britain, saying: “There is frustration, of course there is, you’ve got so much to offer, but you can only work with the opportunities that you’re getting and be thankful for the ones you get, whether they’re coming quickly or months apart. “Parts of the season have been pushing more uphill, but you can’t sit down and cry about it, you’ve just got to get on and make the most of it when it comes. “You’re in the game to win and you want to ride and be out there. There’s nothing you can do about it, just keep working hard.”Follow us on Twitter racing365dotcom and like our Facebook page.
