AMONG the many former Irish Pony Club members who recorded wins on the racecourse over the Christmas period was Garristown’s Megan Carberry, a one-time stalwart of the Ward Union Branch.

The winner of 26 races on the flat as an apprentice, the majority coming in Britain, Megan made her first appearance under National Hunt rules a successful one when landing the bumper at Sedgefield on St Stephen’s day by 14 lengths on the 6/4 favourite Tomngerry.
