A VETERAN underwent jockey who two knee replacements before returning to the saddle finally rode a winner yesterday - for the first time in 35 years.
Pensioner Liam Burke became the oldest winning jockey in Irish racing since 1923 when steering his own horse to victory for his first win in over three decades.
The 66-year-old rode Teuchters Glory to win the finale at Limerick - his first winner since as far back as May 1988.
Liam, the father of leading jockey Johnny Burke, returned to the saddle in 2021 while continuing to train horses, after not having ridden under rules since the early 2000s.
