FORMER jockey Tracy Wentworth found love in the weighing room when she met her ideal Husband.

The 33-year-old was working as a stable girl for trainer Nigel Tinkler when she bumped into apprentice jockey Eugene Husband in 1993.

Love soon blossomed, but because of their busy lives, the couple waited until last month to walk down the aisle. They now live with their three-year-old son, Ryan, in Rugeley, Staffordshire.

Tracy, who was brought up in Normanby, Middlesbrough, could have had the same career as her husband because she was once an apprentice to trainer Mary Reveley, but she now spends her time looking after Ryan while 27-year-old Eugene, from Cheltenham, travels the country building up his riding reputation.

"When we met it was pretty instantaneous and we obviously had a lot in common because of our love of horse racing," said Tracy, who has won a record number of prizes for the best turned-out horses.

"Eugene works long hours because he has to travel wherever he can get a ride, but he is doing really well. We still find time to do things as a family and try to get back to see my parents in Teesside as often as we can.
