HARNESS racing’s northern outpost, Annaghmore Raceway opened for the season last Sunday. The meeting saw a great moment when Kildare-based Myles Connors drove a winner on his first official start with his own For A Few Pearls More.

The race was the first leg of the Liam Wallace C Class Drivers Series organised and sponsored by Wayne McNevin. Wayne’s daughter Leah was on 4/5 shot Benny Camden, trailing 30 yards but a 29-second opening quarter set by Connors meant that the mare was hard to catch.
