Nineteen year old Dubliner Thomas Sherry rode his first winner at Dundalk this evening when landing the opening
www.dundalkstadium.com Handicap on the Michael O'Callaghan trained Aggression
Sherry switched Aggression to the outer with two furlong to race and from there quickened well for a length and a half win over Flawlessly
Sherry later commented “that's my first winner and it's my 16th ride and the boss (O'Callaghan) has been very good to me.
“He ran a cracker last week and was just beaten a nose and we fancied him for tonight and he's done the business.
“The plan was to sit mid-division but he missed the break and we took our time. He has a great turn of foot and can pick up off a very fast pace. He won well, I'm delighted to get the first winner and hopefully it picks up now.
“I'm 19, from Dublin city centre and went to the racing academy (RACE) two years and spent a year with Michael Halford. I went to the boss last year and it's been good and I'm enjoying it.”
