Winner, Les Owen (below), said: “Firstly I would like to thank Jeremy for looking after the birds so well. The young bird is of the Jansson lines, bred from a pair of stock birds given to me from my good friend Paul Gealy, and he acquired them from Mickey Myler of Dublin. I would be looking forward to the last race and next season; let’s hope all goes well from the last race.”
