JESSICA O’GORMAN had the third win of her career when riding at the Listowel Festival in the past week.

In only her second ride following a six month injury lay off with a broken ankle, the Newmarket-on-Fergus native guided Butterfly Garden to victory in the Kevin McManus Bookmaker Handicap over a mile and a half.

Her mount, trained by Kevin Prendergast, moved up strongly to challenge shortly after turning for home and found plenty to see off the game Queen of Seduction to record her second win of the season.

It represented a landmark afternoon for Jessica who rode out her 10lb claim.
