Rathmullan’s Noel and Leona McLaughlin are celebrating another Dingle Derby success after Tommy K’s win in Kerry at the weekend.
The father and daughter, owner and trainer partnership followed up last year’s win with Here We Go Again by taking back to back derby victories in the biggest pony race on the calendar.
It’s also consecutive wins for Kerry jockey Billy Rodgers and a Dingle first with back to back winners for the same trainers and jockey on two different horses.
For Noel, It’s a third derby, in 2010 his first came with Leona’s Pride, a pony named after his daughter who was two years old at the time.
There will be a home coming for Noel, Leona and Billy in Rathmullan this evening which is due to get underway around 7pm.
