THE Midlands Region held a very successful days racing in front of a large crowd at Roscrea, Co Tipperary last Sunday. It proved to be a memorable day for 12-year-old Navan rider Rory Mulligan who rode his first ever winner, coming home alone on Where it Began for Mark Carberry after his solitary rival failed to complete.

It was a busy day for the Mulligan family as his older brother Ben was in action in the Northern meeting in Garvagh, Co Derry.
