LIAM Burke became the oldest person to ride a winner in Ireland for 100 years at the age of 66 at Limerick on Sunday, when partnering his own Teuchters Glory to win the concluding Good Luck To Irish At Cheltenham Bumper.

The Galway Plate-winning trainer and father of leading jockey Jonathan Burke hung up his riding boots in the last millennium but, following two knee replacements and after “taking a mad notion”, made a surprise return to the saddle, aged 64, in July 2021.
