DONEGAL JOCKEY Oisin Orr was celebrating the win in the BetVictor Handicap at Ballinrobe last night.

Orr steered the 4/1 priced Sbraase to victory for Noel Kelly.

Sbraase was out slowly and raced at the hear, but the son of Sir Percy made up his ground in the final half mile.

“Everything went wrong because he was slow away,” said Orr.

“I had no choice but to take my time and creep my way into it down the back.

“I had to come widest of all but he just done enough.”

The eight-year-old got there in the final hundred yards to win by three parts of a length.

Khudha, at 20/1, finished second for Mark McNiff and Donagh O’Connor.
