O’Connor reaches new heights with six-timer

DEREK O’Connor has conquered all before him in the point-to-point sphere ever since winning the first of his five consecutive riders’ titles during the 2003/04 season.

But he reached new heights yesterday by partnering an initial career six-timer at the Kanturk-Duhallow meeting in Dromahane.

Indeed, four of the Galwegian’s winners were supplied by Robert Tyner and the pair initially combined to collect the first division of the five-year-old geldings’ maiden with Pay The Bounty (11/10-evens).
