Donegal jockey Oisin Orr had four winners in England during the week.

The Rathmullan man hit the winning notes with 14/1, 11/1 and 7/1 winners

Three of Orr’s successes were for Richard Fahey. Orr is now Fahey’s stable jockey in Yorkshire.

Orr’s fine week began at Newcastle on Monday, where he rode Chimeric to a win.

The JF Levins-prepped shot was sent off at odds of 7-1.

Orr - who was the champion apprentice in 2017 - made light work of matters and was two lengths clear of Laoch Gach La when they passed the post.

On Wednesday, Orr was in the saddle of the Fahey-trained Amy Santiago at Southwell.

Priced at 14/1, Amy Santiago was pushed along by Orr and made a telling move two furlongs from home to win well from Class Member.

The following afternoon, Orr guided Ri Na Farraige, the 2/1 favourite, to a coasting win at Newcastle for Fahey.

On Thursday afternoon, Orr took Fahey’s 11/1 chance Zip to victory at Southwell.

The 2020 Irish St Leger winner, Orr had half-a-length to spare on Justcallmepete, ridden by Dougie Costello, after seven furlongs.
