Crowned Ladies Champion for the first time in 2010, when sharing the title with Liz Lalor, Maxine won the title outright in 2014 on a career best 13 winners, with Champion Pointer The Hollinwell providing her with five of those winners on her way to the title, before adding to her title haul in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2023. Undoubtedly, the 2020 Cheltenham Festival succcess of It Came To Pass in the Foxhunters for her father has been her biggest success to date.
