MANY congratulations to Co Meath-based Welsh international event rider Amy Parsons, who saddled her first point-to-point winner on Monday at Loughanmore where her charge, Nelsons Port, denied former international event rider Stuart Crawford a training four-timer in the older mares’ maiden.

The winner, a seven-year-old bay daughter of Mount Nelson who was making her debut, is one of just two pointers Amy is training with long-term partner Anthony Fox. They had one more during the autumn but that has since joined Longwood trainer Gordon Elliott - for whom Anthony works six days a week, and for whom Amy works five days a week doing flat work with the stable’s runners.
