It was a case of the magnificent seven for 16 year old jockey, Rossa Ryan, on Sunday in Ramelton.
The young Galway rider won seven of his nine mounts and recorded a feat that has never been done in these parts.
Only two men have ridden six winners at the same meet – Adrian Maguire and Emmet Butterly.
Rossa’s victories came in the opening race when he steered What’s The Crack to victory and followed up soon after in the feature race, Hugo Browne Memorial on Let Him Go.
He made it three aboard Ya Wee Skitter in the Ciaran Gildea Memorial and number four came in the mile and a quarter open when Athea Jade stormed home.

The last of the magnificent seven came when One Direction simply toyed with the opposition in the 148 cm.
The meeting was also notable for the fact that it saw young Sean O’Briain record his first win.

Local lad, Dylan Browne-McMonagle made the long trip to Tipperary on Sunday and it proved a fruitful trip as he steered Little Molly to victory in the 143 cm ponies.
