Limerick win for O'Shea

By Pat Griffin

Wednesday February 03 2010

28 year-old jockey Niki O'Shea, from Derrymore West Tralee, produced a splendid riding performance on Presenting Massey, which was a game winner, of The Greenmount Beginners Chase, at Limerick races on Sunday last.

Confidently ridden, the well schooled seven year old, was produced with precision timing, by O'Shea, coming into the straight and showed his strength and style in the saddle to hold the well supported Victram by a length and a half.

This was the talented rider's 52nd win of a splendid racing career and his sixth win of the current season.

He is number one stable jockey to former top jockey Conor O'Dwyer in Kildare and currently needs just three more winners, before losing his right to claim.
