LOCAL rider Conor Walsh was the star of the show at Taghmon races in Wexford as the 11-year-old copper-fastened his grip on the national award for riders in the 12.2-14hh class with a treble.

Walsh’s first two winners were for the Listowel-based Curly Syndicate with Another Tiger foiling a brave front-running effort from the Luke Burke Ott-ridden veteran Tail To Tail.
