Letterkenny jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle claims first win after injury

Dylan Browne McMonagle secured his first victory since returning from injury when he rode the 6/1‑rated Thyer to the finish at Leopardstown.

The Letterkenny jockey had been sidelined for six weeks after a heavy fall at Bellewstown at the end of August. He began his comeback on Monday, completing a modest return race before tackling a challenging ride at Ascot the following day.

At today’s Leopardstown meeting, McMonagle recovered from the tough Ascot outing and delivered a decisive performance, edging out Nermal by a head to give trainer Maurice Ahern a win.

The win marks a significant milestone for McMonagle as he rebuilds his form after the injury lay‑off, and it adds a positive note to the trainer’s day at the course.
