It was a day of mixed fortunes on Sunday for highly-talented Letterkenny jockey Dylan Browne-McMonagle in Porthall.
The Letterkenny teenager won three of the first six races on the opening day of the season before a tumble off Let Us Go ended his day.
The horse slipped on a bend and Dylan was unseated. He was taken to Letterkenny University Hospital with a dislocated shoulder. He is expected to be out of action for up to three months.
Browne-McMonagle is hoping to be back in action in time for the Dingle Derby in mid-August.
He chalked up wins on Ahea Jade in the 1 1/4 open, 5 Stone of Lead in the 148 cm ponies and 4 Stone of Lead in the mile open maiden.
Mikey Sheehy, the Kilkenny-born star, also notched up a treble on the card on Keeper Hill in the 1 mile open, Mister Balboa in the 153 cm ponies and Chasing a Dream who was an impressive winner in the 2 mile open.
Carndonagh rider Luke Turner had a good win on Flick in the 138 cm ponies.
Promising Downpatrick rider Rosalea Laird steered Ida’s Dream to victory in the 1 1/2 mile open, while Sam Ewing was an impressive winner aboard the locally-owned Sea Biscuit in the 1 mile non-winners. Sam is another name to keep a close eye on.
