Maxine off the mark over fences in style

Twenty-one-year-old Maxine O’Sullivan rode her first winner over fences with a highly competent display aboard Pals Leg, trained by her father, Eugene, in the Follow Us On Facebook Beginners Chase at Tramore yesterday.

Her only previous success on the track was in a bumper, but she does have 17 to her credit in point-to-points.

Said Ms O’Sullivan: “That was brilliant, he’s lovely. It was his first time over fences and he looked at the first three a bit, but after that was brilliant.”
