By Dan Walsh at Wexford Races
Young Cleariestown jockey Conor Stone-Walsh kept the locals happy at Wexford Races this evening with a nine lengths success on 9/4 favourite Small Town Hero in the handicap hurdle.
It was the only local riding victory on day two of the Fleadh Cheoil week races following on from jockey Sean Flanagan’s double on Wednesday.
Tinahely trainer Philip Rothwell saddled Mercury Mission (6/1) who scored by a neck under claimer Calum Hogan in the Nevilles Hotels Handicap Hurdle.
It was an eight-race card but a number of flights of hurdles had to be omitted during the evening due to low-lying sun!
Next day’s racing at Bettyville Park is in three weeks’ time – Ladies Day with fashion presenter Marietta Doran – on Friday evening, August 29th. See you there!
