IT was a particularly notable day for young riders on Sunday, with no fewer than four of them partnering their first winners.

At Nenagh, Saint Benedict provided the latest generation of the Hyde family, Tim Jr, with his first success between the flags, swiftly followed by Eoin Shaw in the finale, when Makeshift won the older geldings’ maiden. The 21-year-old was particularly polished in the finish for a rider recording just their first success.
