Five-timer secures title for O’Connor

O’Connor who took over from his father Tom a few years ago, started off the Fab-Five — in the opening race when Saleen Bob (4/6), owned by his mother Christina, came home in front in 29.47.

O’Connor was back in the winner’s podium in the next race, when Saleen Kerry had a length and half win in 30.59 in this A2 550 for his dad Tom. The winner was returned at evens but there was more to come as he completed the treble in the third race with Heads or Harps (2/5) for Noreen McManus and Declan Moylan, when he skipped clear down the back to cruise to a six length win in 28.85 .
