A Donegal-born film-maker is hoping his horse comes in after being nominated for an award at the Irish Film and Television Awards this weekend.film reel

Rathmullan television producer Pierce Boyce, who is based in Galway, is hoping his TV series Jockey Eile, will be first past the post in the Best Reality Series at the awards on Friday night.

Pearse has even admitted that he has placed bets in bookmakers shops around the country to make a few euro if his series wins.

And with the winnings, he has promised to take his three children on a sunshine break during midterm.

Pearse says he really believes in his series which is up against RTE big-hitters Masterchef and ICA Bootcamp.

But he insists that he really believes his show is a thoroughbred and will romp home.

The IFTA ceremony is broadcast live in RTE1 on Feb 9th from the Convention Centre Dublin.
