By Dan Walsh at Wexford races
Wexford racecourse was in excellent condition for today’s races and racing returns there again on Friday evening, so a busy summer for the popular South-East track.
Paul Nolan had another exciting day at Wexford Races when he saddled Rue Taylor (12/1) ridden by Carl Millar who scored by a neck over the Conor O’Dwyer trained Teenage Kiss (Charlie Dwyer up) in the opportunity handicap chase.
Taghmon jockey Sean O’Keeffe received the leg up on the Willie Mullins trained Soir De Grande (11/2) and the combination were impressive when victorious by one and a quarter lengths in the beginners’ chase.
Caim, Enniscorthy jockey JJ Slevin enjoyed success at his local track when he won the handicap chase on Chosen Shant (9/1) for owner/trainer Aengus King from Newmarket-on-Fergus, Co. Clare.
Waterford trainer Henry de Bromhead, who has an excellent strike rate at Wexford, added another success when Rockonliam (Evens Fav.) scored by four and a half lengths under Darragh O’Keeffe,
David O’Brien, who made the short hop from Piltown, Co. Kilkenny, returned smiling after saddling Mic Drop (5/1) with Josh Williamson in the handicap chase.
Racing returns to Bettyville Park on this Friday evening with an eight-race card and the first race is off at 4.47pm. It is also Wexford GAA fundraising day at the races.
