Horse racing – It’s all about Jill in Ramelton!

written by Chris McNulty June 15, 2017

Jill Robinson, who has made a return to the saddle after coming out of retirement, chalked up a first and last race double in Ramelton on Sunday afternoon.

Forget Me Not got her off the mark in the mile and a half open and All About Chris provided the Omagh rider with a comfortable win in the two mile non-winners event.

On current form, the Co Tryone jockey looks a good bet for the ladies title, with the Gerry Collins’ yard behind her.

Sunday also saw a first win for Reece O’Connor on Man of Iron in the mile and a quarter open. This looks like being the first of many victories for Reece.

Joey Dunne gave Big OJ a peach of a ride to take the two mile maiden in fine style.

Co Derry rider, Jamie Kelly, registered his second win of the season aboard the aptly named Sea Biscuit in the 153cm pony race for the Holian family in Ramelton.

Last year’s Dingle Derby winner, Mr Bowen, had was steered to victory in the two mile open under the up and coming star, Pat Taffee, son of Tom and grandson of the late, great Pat Taaffe.

Never Say Never took the victory in the one mile open and won with plenty to spare in the trusted hands of Nina Simpson.

Daniel Day won the local race aboard Dimitri.

Racing resumes next weekend, Saturday, June 24th and Sunday, June 25th and the Big Isle in Manorcunningham.
