The feature race of the day, the Alternate Xmas Party with the Chevys (Q.R) Race saw a game winner in the Noel Meade trained Gay Sloane after he ran out a 9 length winner in the hands of Nina Carberry.

Winning trainer Meade said afterwards: “It’s always a help having Nina on-board. The plan was always to go out in front.”

“We were worried that ground may have gone to soft for him but obviously it hadn’t.”

My Racing Story. Luke McAteer

I'm from Rathmullan in Co Donegal and I started off in my grandfather's riding school. I spent all my time there really. I rode about 30 winners pony racing. I rode for my grandfather first and for most of the lads up around Donegal. They were all very good to me after he passed away in 2015 and they all gave me a hand out. You can see the results in the weigh room - anyone who is riding winners week in and week out has been there and done it in pony racing. Those ponies take a bit of riding when you are 16 and under. When my grandfather died, I spent another year in school and then I moved down to Jim Bolger's after that.
