AN historic photograph was taken at Ballynoe last Sunday as the winner of the concluding older mares’ maiden, M’s Princess, was greeted by seven and a half month old Leighton Hickey whose father Adrian was saddling his first winner of the season.

Also on hand to welcome the Kadeed seven-year-old back in were Leighton’s mother Noelle Reidy and his grandmother Mary Hickey. His uncle, Martin Hickey, who too was recording his first victory of the campaign, partnered the very consistent M’s Princess to her three-parts of a length success.
