THE opening day of the Glenbeigh Racing Festival saw the season’s two leading riders Mikey Sheehy and Dylan Browne-McMonagle both record doubles with the feature event of the day, the Glenbeigh Derby going to Browne-McMonagle.

Athea Jade had run up an incredible sequence with only one reverse in his previous 19 runs and he duly added to that as he saw off the challenge of Ballybrown Boy to land this prestigious 12-furlong race for Adrian’s uncle, Letterkenny owner/trainer Adrian Browne.
