A rising star of the apprentice ranks, Siobhan Rutledge registered the 30th success of her career and rode out her 7lb. claim when the Ciaran Murphy-trained Takana landed the five-furlong Irish EBF Auction Series 2-Y-0 Maiden on the opening day of Bellewstown’s September meeting.

Rutledge, from Curragha, County Meath, is based with John McConnell in nearby Stamullen and has now ridden 13 winners this season.
