Jamie rides his 950th winner at Bray Hunt meeting

at Fairwood Park

JAMIE CODD has had many landmarks in his illustrious career in points and on the track and he reached another at the Bray Hunt meeting at Tinahely on Sunday when he rode his 950th winner between the flags, and the 1000 mark is surely his next target.

He had two winners and a second for his big ally, Denis Murphy (The Ballagh) before heading to Naas to win the bumper there.

He must share the headlines with Barry O’Neill who had four winners on Saturday and added two more at Tinahely and leads Codd in the title race, 33 to 20.

Bring The Action (another winner by Jet Away) took the fouryear-old maiden to give Codd his 950th and his 50th winner at Fairwood.

Second was Simple Rules under Jamie Scallan for Seán Doyle, and third was Slievegar for O’Neill and Colin Bowe.

Codd and Murphy took the five-year-old maiden with Tucson Train (Scorpion), from Sunset West for O’Neill and Bowe, and Straight Swap for Rob James and Donnchadh Doyle.

O’Neill and Bowe turned the tables in the Winner of Two on Ballymorris Rose (Getaway), with Codd and Murphy second on Beatthebullet.

O’Neill doubled up in the concluding older geldings’ maiden on Locallink (Sandmason) for Shay and Elizabeth Slevin, Kiltrea.

Jack Hendrick (Mayglass) was second in the Novice Riders Open with Michael Murphy’s Better B Quick, and Tiernan Roche was second on Murphy’s Honest Opinion in the five-year-old mares’ maiden.
