TWO young women, previously more involved in show jumping, recorded their first wins on the point-to-point scene last weekend, one as a handler/trainer while the other struck in the saddle.

The trainer was north Co Dublin-based Abbey Stafford who saddled her first winner on Saturday at Lisronagh where her 18-year-old brother Tadhg registered his initial victory as an amateur jockey when partnering their father James’s Lawful Ruler to victory in the older horses’ maiden.
