Over the line at 59: Jockey Simon Condon celebrates first ever victory
WINNER: Simon Condon after riding his first winner on Eat the Book in the Kilbeggan Handicap Hurdle.
PROOF that it's never too late to become a sporting hero, 59-year-old amateur jockey, Simon Condon, rode his first ever winner after forty years in the saddle at Kilbeggan on Thursday evening.
Aboard Eat the Book, Condon, who works for the HSE by day, passed the winning post on his 40-1 winner. The thing he savoured most? The isolation of being in front.
