Carey/Slevin score at Downpatrick

Sun 14th Jun 2009, 15:54

Wexford trainer Shay Slevin made the long journey up worthwhile when winning The Race On Baileys Maiden Hurdle with Ben Swift in the hands of Sonny Carey.

Winning trainer Slevin stated afterwards, "This place has been a lucky track for me. This lad has been running consistent enough and thought he would have a chance today. I think he'd stay the 3 miles and we might go for a novice hurdle next."

My Racing Story. Emma Connolly

I'm from Killyon, Co Meath and always had a fascination for ponies. My mam and dad eventually gave in and I got riding lessons and then I got my own pony. Then when I was about 12 or 13, I was fortunate enough to start working for Frederick John Bowles and all I wanted was racehorses after that. I was mucking out and riding out there and doing general stable duties. That was during weekends and school holidays. I got the bug massively. I wanted to be a jockey but wasn't good enough. I had a few rides in places like Limerick and Roscommon as an amateur in bumpers. My bottle probably wasn't good enough either.
