A fairytale success!
Simon Condon turns 60 next year but won’t have enjoyed many better days as he guided home Eat The Book, who he owns himself, to a remarkable victory at Kilbeggan. The rider has been competing in the saddle since 19 years of age but, incredibly, this is his first ever winner and all the more special as the horse was bought by his father.
Detached early, the rider stayed patient on the nine-year-old gelding, creeping into contention on the final circuit before making his challenge down the outside of the field and forging clear for a most unlikely success.
A jubilant Condon said afterwards: “I’ve been waiting a long time for it. This is my first ever [winner] and I’m delighted for my Dad as he had bought the horse for me to ride.”

This is a very long race…………..

Almost didn't happen. Eat The Book actually tripped on one of the fallen horses. Lucky also that Condon had opted for staying on the outside of the track. It sure must've been nice to finally get a win, but he's just an amateur jockey who's competed in only a few dozen races in his lifetime, most of them point-to-points. So this win is not all that noteworthy after all.
Wow, congratulations, Mr. Condon.
Extraordinary to see you upset the field and show your mastery of horses in that way.
I hope you have a good day today because you made mine better
The horse was different class.
Great job done.
Hey said mayor Quimby I caught the Simpsons reference on horses name but nice win on a old man jock
What a GREAT interview what a great story
This is the most ridiculously long, making it a dangerous race! Cruel. Hopefully no horses were hurt in that fall.
Can't understand why this race is soo long. Stupid.
congratulations. makes me want to get back on a horse aged 53 after losing Apache in 2005.

Another fixed race.

OMG I JUST SAW THE GUY GET RAN OVER BY HIS OWN HORSE!!!!!!!!!!!
kuba antos mogę przewrócił i spadł z konie na trawie. bo kuba antos za dużo ważyć i zbyt gruby, ma duży brzuch, otyłość i fałdziska na bokach. Fałdziska = wielkie fałdki na bokach.
Nobody's impressed with the horse that finished with no jockey? 😂😂😂
RESPECT!!
How can this even be allowed
i dont understand how anyone could support this
0:23 ouch lady on the right fell over. must have hurt
Wow…you all missed "Investigate TV" on NBC reporting on the majority of the horse trainers use drugs to win. Guess it doesn't matter even horse racing is highly involved in cheating and cheaters all because of money and greed to the abuse and the death of the horses and many, many horses have died over years for this cruel sport!! Shame on all of you!! SMH
Off generally means running tautology. Bring back Channel 4.

They force the horses to go way beyond the limits of reasonability for their health and physique and then kill them if the poor animals suffer an injury, the is nothing but a blood sport.
Great race as ever

Come on 28 your got theis
Estoy totalmente en contra del movimiento animalista ridiculo y populista que estamos viendo ultimamente… Pero, era necesario azotar al animal durante los ultimos 100 metros sin explicacion alguna?? Entiendo que la joketta no podia saber a que distancia iban por detras los rivales pero joder… Atizarle sin psrar durante tanto tiempo… En fin, mero pensamiento expresado en palabras. Cuidense.
Lovely story, hope it continues with a good
Yes! A big deal for women jockeys and women everywhere!
Fine ride and a great race run! 🐴Incredible display of riding and jumping well
Omg at the chair the jokey flyed of it was funny
