Oisin Orr dead-heats at Hamilton

Donegal jockey Oisin Orr was involved in a dead heat at Hamilton on Sunday.

On the Richard Fahey-trained Installation, Orr dead-heated with Queen Rooney in the five-furlong novice stakes.

Orr is now Fahey’s stable jockey and the Rathmullan man earned the trained an 81st win of the season having managed to avoid being pipped.

Queenie Rooney (100/30), with Callum Rodriguez in the saddle, stormed up on the rail, but couldn’t edge ahead.
