Donegal jockeys Oisín Orr , his brother Conor and Luke McAteer all had winners this evening at the Races in Ireland

Conor Orr rode 5/2 favourite Whenurgoodurgood to victory for trainer Nigel Slevin in the 3-25pm Dawn Milk Omega Maiden Hurdle at Killarney , surviving a couple of bumps by some of his rivals along the way but always in control.  
                   
Later in the 6-45pm at Leoperstown Luke McAteer produced a Brillant late run from Suaimhneach for trainer Jim Bogler to take the SAP Concur Apprentice Handicap chase at odds of 11/1.                                                                                       This followed Luke’s excellent victory on board Reeking Havoc ( 12/1 ) for Anthony Mullins at Fairyhouse on Tuesday , also timing his late run to perfection to take the win.                                                                                                   Completing an excellent evening , this evening , for the Donegal lads in the Carnival Extravaganza Maiden at Leoperstown was Oisín Orr’s win on 11/4 favourite Luxuriant for the Dermot Weld stable , taking control of the race in the final furlong to win comfortably .                                                                                   A good evening for the Donegal lads with a hat-trick of wins between them.
