TWO former members of the Irish Pony Club, who also competed with other equestrian organisations, partnered their first winners in racing last weekend.

On her 19th ride, Emily Grifferty landed the mile and a half apprentice handicap at Dundalk on Friday evening on the John McConnell-trained 50/1 shot Syosset, a four-year-old Crystal Ocean gelding bred by Stephen Lanigan O’Keeffe.
