O’Shea firing on all cylinders

TADGH O’SHEA just can’t stop riding winners at the moment and the young man from Cork partnered his 17th winner of the season when he brought Styling It with a perfectly timed challenge to win the opening two year old maiden at Navan last night.

O’Shea is snapping at the heels of messrs. Kinane, Smullen and Murtagh in the jockeys title race, is riding with plenty of confidence and will add significantly to that total by the year end.

Just four went to post for the LMFM Radio Race. Kevin Manning sent the well supported Aqualina to the front at the two furlong pole and the 7/4 shot stayed on strongly to beat Plume Rouge by a length and a half. The winner is trained by his boss and father-in-law Jim Bolger.
