Denis O'Regan out to make history at Hereford

Denis O'Regan is aiming to make history at Hereford on Wednesday afternoon.

The English track is the only jumps racecourse between Ireland and the UK that the Cork jockey has not rode a winner at and if successful on one of his three rides today, O'Regan will become the first ever rider to complete the set.

Two of his rides come for Navan-based trainer Cian Collins, with the other coming for English handler Henry Oliver.

O'Regan visited Hereford back in November for a couple of rides on Gordon Elliott-trained horses, but didn't taste victory on any of them.

The first of his mounts on Wednesday is Diegos Way in the Jackson Property Handicap Chase at 2pm for Collins before he partners Presenting Doyen for the same trainer an hour later.

O'Regan's final ride on the day comes for Oliver on Skinflint in the final contest, the Jackson Property Handicap Chase at 4pm.

Presenting Doyen is the 40-year-old's best chance of a winner according to the bookies.
