FORMER champion conditional jump jockey Jack Foley saddled his first winner since taking out a licence earlier this year when Liberation Date justified odds-on favouritism in the opening division of the Irish EBF Median Sires Series Fillies Maiden.

The Donnchadh Doyle-owned filly was ridden to challenge over a furlong out by Luke McAteer and kept on well to reel in the leader in the closing stages and score by a neck. McAteer picked up a two-day ban for careless riding after his mount edged right under two furlongs out.
