Congratulations to Clonroche jockey Daryl Jacob on winning the Grand National today on Neptunes Collognes .

They are trying to claim that he is from Donegal here :

A CO DONEGAL jockey is celebrating after riding a 33-1 shot to Grand National glory at Aintree today.

But he is actually from Davidstown , Clonroche :

Daryl Jacob from Davidstown confirmed last Saturday that his mount will be Neptune Collenges, who should be good value at around 25/1, and he should have no problem with the distance.

I was talking to his uncle a month ago , who told me to look out for him in the National

Great achievement for Daryl.

His mother is from Donegal

He probably got some tips on riding from his brother.

And I dont mean the one who plays rugby for Enniscorthy.

Since when do Donegal do Horse Racing? Building Tunnels is their game!

Well done to Daryl!!!!
