DYLAN O’Connor made his racecourse breakthrough on Sporting Hero for Denis Hogan and the Winning Chance Syndicate in the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap at Dundalk.

The 10lb claimer had the 7/2 favourite tracking No Speed Limit and rode him to the front a furlong out. The five-year-old gelding kept on well to pass the post with two lengths in hand.
