IF you were at the race meeting in Listowel last Friday, or watched it on Racing TV or, as Gaeilge, on TG4, you couldn’t help smiling at a beaming Orla Queally as she rode back to the winner’s enclosure following her first track success in the MCG Ladies Handicap Hurdle.

Orla was on board the 9/2 shot Costanuci who is trained by her father John and owned by her mother Miriam.
