THE north-west region meeting in Big Isle near Letterkenny proved to be a bonanza for local rider Dylan Browne-McMonagle and Limerick rider Philip Byrnes both of whom partnered five winners on the marathon card.

The highlight of Dylan’s day was his victory in the 12-furlong race on Let It Go, a race run in memory of his grandfather Hugo Browne where he overcame the stubborn challenge of the Philip Byrnes-ridden Will I Am.
