Byrne continues golden run on Mid Mon Lady

Mon 26th Oct 2009, 16:18

Apprentice jockey Daryl Byrne has made giant strides in recent weeks and, following on from riding five consecutive winners from October 12 to 21, landed the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap Final, on Mid Mon Lady at Leopardstown today.

Byrne, who is attached to Mid Mon Lady's trainer Harry Rogers, was partnering his sixth winner of the season and his third in the Derrinstown Series.

Mid Mon Lady's Harry Rogers later reported “there's a ten furlong Listed race at Dundalk next month and we'll have a look at it for her. However she is a nice horse to look forward to next year and is improving all the time. However she has to come out of the stalls slowly as she raced a little too keenly otherwise – Daryl gets on very well with her.”

The Derrinstown Series itself was won by Champion Apprentice-elect Gary Carroll, who partnered five winners to top the table, one winner ahead of Shane Foley.

My Racing Story. Don Browne

I was born and bred in Carrigtwohill, Co Cork and my father had point-to-pointers. He never trained, but he had horses in training. A thing I always wanted to do was train my own horse. I was about 21 before I sat on a racehorse. My father had a point-to-pointer and said to me to crack on and take a chance training him. I then bought a horse with my brother and trained it. She stayed racing, but was never much good. Cloneen Princess was my first winner in the millennium year at Carrigtwohill. She was a point-to-point winner for my father. I bought Cloneen Storm and he won for me as a five-year-old and a six-year-old. That fella won four point-to-points. After him, the licence went. I had another horse for my father, Cloneen Choice, and I took out the licence for him. He won three point-to-points and he came third in a hunters chase in Killarney in 2017.
