Music hits winning note for Mangan

“Mr Weld’s horses are flying, he’d win with a donkey this week,” joked Jane Mangan, after she had guided Rosewell House’s Midnight Music to victory in the Carlton Hotel Handicap at Galway last night.

In doing so she became the first lady rider to win this race.

Jane, 18-year-old daughter of trainer, Jimmy Mangan, has made a huge impact since bursting on the scene and this was further evidence Weld has as good an eye for up-and-coming young pilots as he has for horses.
