DOWNPATRICK native Danny McMenamin takes the lead this week when it comes to discussing locally-born jump jockeys riding winners in Britain.

The CosyRoof-sponsored McMenamin recorded a double last Thursday week at Newcastle where he also finished second twice during the afternoon. He didn’t have a ride on Friday while his sole engagement on Sunday saw him down at Cheltenham when he was beaten three and a half lengths into fourth in the mares’ handicap chase on the Nicky Richards-trained Ruby Island.
