The winners keep coming for Jack Power, our local Jockey.
On Thursday at Perth, Jack won the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Conditional Jockey's Handicap Chase of 3m for Trainer Lucinda Russell & Owner Mrs Jennifer Sword at a price of 3/1F.
Well done also to Jack for his very good and interesting interview with John O'Riordan of The Irish Field recently.

The lovely sunshine on Saturday morning lent itself to an outside market on the Square.
People were a bit slower arriving as most were watching the Pope's Funeral on television.
The tables were arranged in lovely sunshine between the XL Store & Cove Bar.
There were plenty of fresh vegetables and apples, oranges, bananas, lemons and strawberries on display.
Both Margaret & Mary had oven-fresh bread, tarts, scones, sausage rolls, pastries, and fancy buns. There were also jams, marmalade, & relish.
