SHANE Fitzgerald and Mick Goff have formed a formidable partnership over the past five years, one that has taken 22-year-old Fitzgerald to consecutive under-21 titles in 2017 and 2018. It was fitting that the pair combined to record their respective 50th winners when they shared a double, initiated by the victory of Leac An Scail Lady in the four-year-old mares’ maiden.

Owned by The Chancers Syndicate, which includes the two-time Kilkenny All-Ireland winning hurler Liam McCarthy, the daughter of Masterofthehorse made all to defeat Caoimhe Lady by two lengths in a success which brought Fitzgerald to his milestone 50th winner.
