IT was great to see so many locally-owned and trained winners over the two days of the East Antrims’ Easter fixture at Loughanmore and on both afternoons the final race on the card was won by a locally-bred horse.

They certainly don’t come more locally-owned, trained and bred than the Califet gelding Ballymackie who brought up a double for landowner Wilson Dennison and resident trainer Colin McKeever when landing Saturday’s concluding Fleet Financial winners’ of two race by a length and a half.
