Horse-Racing: Double for Oisin Orr at Pontefract earns him Sunday Series success

Donegal jockey Oisin Orr

Oisin Orr has won the 3:45 and 4:45 races at Pontefract today.

The Donegal jockey was on board the highly-fancied Richard Fahey trained “Powerful Glory” in the Cure Leukaemia EBF “Newcomers” Maiden Stakes.

And that was enough for him to win the Sunday Series Best Jockey award, worth £10,000, for a third time.

He went to post in that one at 10/11 on.

In the EBF Sky Bet Sunday Series Flying Fillies’ Stakes race at 4:45, Orr rode “Marine Wave” to give trainer Richard Fahey his 2nd win of the day. In that race, he went off at 11/2.

Today’s wins follow on from his recent good form as he rode “Dare to Hope” to victory at Ripon yesterday.
