WATCH: Local success on the double at Limerick Christmas Racing Festival

THERE were two locally trained winners on a memorable third day of the Mr Binman Limerick Christmas Racing Festival on Wednesday at Greenmount Park.

The first Limerick success came in the day's opening race when Maidenstreetprince claimed the Kevin Lynch Memorial Maiden Hurdle.

The winner, returned at odds of 15/2, is trained in Ballingarry by Charles Byrnes and was ridden to victory by his son Philip.

Maidenstreetprince, who proved a length and a quarter too good for runner-up Sa Fureur, carried the colours of the Newcastle West-based S Club Six Syndicate.

Maidenstreetprince had finished third on his previous run at Punchestown.

Meanwhile, Athea trainer Eoin McCarthy and Newcastle West jockey Gary Noonan teamed up to record their second success of the week in Limerick when landing the D Pack Packaging Handicap Hurdle with Tomjackwilliam.

Eoin McCarthy has high hopes for Tomjackwilliam, who supplied the local trainer with a second @LimerickRaces winner over the festive period.
