CONGRATULATIONS to jockey Wesley Joyce, who had his first winner at Sligo on Sunday riding Hands Down. He is from Moyross, Co Limerick, and got into racing through a RACE outreach programme working with the Moyross Youth Academy.

RACE has been supporting educational and career attainment through outreach programmes to urban equine project initiatives. Several young people who started with these visits have successfully completed the RACE trainee jockey course, progressed to working for racehorse trainers and remain involved as leaders and role models for other young people in Moyross.
