CONGRATULATIONS are due to Knocklong amateur jockey Patrick Gleeson, who rode his first winner when partnering the Pat O’Donnell-trained Extensio to take the two-mile maiden hurdle recently at Roscommon.
An 11/1 chance, the six-year-old led over the third-last hurdle and was nicely clear over the last to score by three and a quarter lengths from the Charles Byrnes-trained Reverend Hubert.
Meanwhile, Ballingarry’s Billy Lee enjoyed a big day at the Curragh where he won the Group 3 Rathasker Stud Phoenix Stakes on the Ken Condon-trained Moss Tucker.
There’s a nice meeting at Cork this Friday (4.50pm onwards).
