IT wasn’t just Derby Day at Epsom last Saturday but also at Tullylish where three young riders left their seniors in their wake.

Like Emmet McNamara on the Aidan O’Brien-trained Serpentine, Emma Webster gave the skewbald mare A Hint Of Red a perfectly judged ride in the 90cms class, stopping the clock on the optimum time of 2.07 minutes. Emma, a first-year Scottish veterinary student who was making her Irish debut, is training in nearby Gilford with Trevor and Steven Smith.
