Irish jockey wins race at 66 years old to rewrite history books

Liam Burke became the oldest winning jockey in Irish racing since 1923 when steering his own horse to victory at Limerick on Sunday.

The 66-year-old rode, Teuchters Glory, to win the finale at Limerick for his first winner in over three decades.

Burke, the father of leading jockey Johnny Burke, returned to the saddle in 2021 while continuing to train horses, after not having ridden under rules since the early 2000s.
