THERE were five Irish-bred winners on the six-race card at the Point-to-Point Owners and Riders’ Club meeting at Barbury Racecourse last Sunday, two of whom were ridden by Sam Jukes.
The Joseph O’Shea-trained Lilbitluso was sent off favourite for the 19-runner mixed open but the market leader had to settle for second behind Iberico who Jukes also trains for Clive Bennett. The 11-year-old King’s Theatre gelding, who was bred in Co Wexford by the Doran family out of a Celtic Cone own-sister to Celtic Shot, was landing this race for the second successive season.
