Danny Sheehy recorded his 95th winner today and thus lost his right to claim, having steered the Diego Dias-owned-and-trained Winemaker (7/1) narrowly win in Dundalk's Winter Series Leading Trainer & Jockey Championship Handicap.
Sheehy, son of trainer Eamonn 'Dusty' Sheehy, was involved in three-way finish to the seven-furlongs contest and was called the short-head and head winner, from James Henry and Macadam's Rock
Winning trainer Dias later said “it was a great ride by Danny, he dictated the pace the way he wanted. He said there was no pace so had to jump forward. We like him, he battled back and is a nice horse.
"This gives us more options, he will probably get a break now and go back to the turf."
He added "I'm looking forward to it. I have 16 horses in training and plenty of juveniles."
