Dylan Browne-McMonagle and Philip Byrnes shared the honours at The Big Isle Manorcunningham on Sunday last when both jockeys won 10 races between them.

Dylan got of the mark in the Richie Barron and Elizabeth Connolly Memorial as Unhinged kept up his winning run.

Dylan took the Hugo Browne Memorial on Let It Go who bounced back to form notching up his double.

This race was in remembrance of his late grandfather which Dylan was delighted to win for his family.

The third win came as Thunder Struck made all in the Roy Laird Memorial and Dylan hadn’t to wait long to bring up the quadruple as Dylan’s Pride landed the Decky Holian Memorial for the Holian family from Ballyare.

The famous five was completed for the Letterkenny rider as Five Stone Of Lead took the Eric Steele memorial.

Co Limerick rider Philip Byrnes had a day to remember with his first ever five timer. He got the ball rolling when guiding Watch This Space to victory in the Christina Geaney Memorial. He then doubled up while winning the James Torrens Memorial on board the impressive Way Up North.

Philip registered his treble on Who Knows with a comfortable success in the Brian Ferry Memorial and then Ted Baker had a convincing win in the Francie Browne Memorial.

His brilliant fiver timer came as Churchall won the lucky last the Hugh McGuigan Memorial.

Co Galway rider Olli Gilligan got his first winner in the Northwest as he made all on Tiger Mac in the Dougie Thompson Memorial.

Fintown jockey Paul McGill has found the winning habit as he made it three wins on the spin aboard his own Cool The Jets in the Ciaran Gildea Memorial and it might just have earned a crack at the Dingle Derby in Kerry in a fortnight’s time.

Meanwhile local jockey Brandon Wilkie made the long trek to Ballyconneelly in West Connemara Co Galway.

He had a red letter afternoon by taking the 138cm on Little Spirit and then recording his double when West Boots took the 12 furlong open.

Next racing in the North West will take place on Bank Holiday Monday in Ballintra. First race at 2pm
