LIVING THE DREAM

In-form Kirrane going for biggest success

- MELISSA JONES

WINNERS are like buses - you wait ages for one and then two come along at once.

The saying rang true for Sean Kirrane when he was paired with York record-holder Copper Knight.

Tim Easterby's evergreen sprinter - who runs at York today under Joe Fanning covered his favourite five furlongs in 58 seconds, to top the charts for the most wins at the track on seven.

"Copper Knight was my first winner at York in July, which was a massive thrill," said Kirrane, who rode out his claim two weeks ago.

"I then made it a double on his stablemate Gibside. It has been great to finally get some momentum up this season."

As soon as he was ready to give his career a good go, the lights flicked back to red for Malton-based Kirrane.
