Racing: Sheer delight as Sheer Tenby wins

Aidan O’Brien’s apprentice Colm O’Donoghue recorded his biggest success to date and moved back to the top of the table as 20-1 chance Sheer Tenby landed the IR£100,000 McDonogh EBF Handicap at Galway tonight.

Trained in Tramore by retired jump jockey Paul Roche, 27, Sheer Tenby has proved a tremendous investment for the nine members of his local Halfway House syndicate on whose behalf Irish agent Gerry Hogan purchased the horse at Newmarket for just 5,000 guineas.
