Horse Racing

Six winners for King at Glenbeigh Races

By John Tarrant

TALENTED Jockey Conor King dominated the Glenbeigh Races in Kerry on collecting a hugely impressive six winners.

Galloping horses dotted Rossbeigh in south Kerry beach at the weekend for the annual two day event.

Punters and families were out in force as the horses were put through their paces and the fun on the beach reached fever pitch with some dramatic finishes.

Kilbrin jockey King kept his supporters happy on recording a brilliant six timer that will surely consolidate favouritism for leading pony jockey of the season. His six winners equals that of Paul Townsend who has emerged as one of most exciting young National Hunt jockeys onto the scene.

King continued his winning form over Rossbeigh strand, impeccable form guiding Minnie Me, Close Encounter, Supreme Boy Roy, The Pie, Asian Dancer and Hey Big Stride to outright wins.
