Connors gets back to winning ways

FRANCIS CONNORS was in a rush to get back to winning ways yesterday after being laid off for the summer through injury, when taking the honours in the first open horse class, a one-round speed contest, at Millstreet Indoor Show.

In what was a home win of sorts, the stylish Waterford rider was carried to victory by Millstreet Miss, owned by Green Glens impresario Noel C Duggan.

“I’m delighted,” said Connors after the win.
