CASTLEWELLAN builder Leo Matheson missed seeing his Mark McNiff-trained Lighthouse Rose win her first race at Downpatrick last August but nothing was going to stop him attending Tuesday’s meeting at the Co Down track where she recorded her second career success in the Victoria du Monde.ie For Connoisseurs Of Interior Spaces Handicap Hurdle.

The six-year-old Court Cave mare was bred by Leo out of Lady Fame (by Aahsaylad), who too was homebred. The winner is the first of four recorded foals, and the only filly to date, out of her dam who won a point-to-point and was placed twice over hurdles.
