Jack Kennedy extends his lead in jockeys’ championship with important win

Winners from outside stables are fortifying Kennedy’s challenge, with Waterford trainer Paul Power contributing to this. Kennedy’s no-nonsense approach was crucial as he got first run on the favorite Tingarran Express from the second-last, and Morepowertoya managed to hold him off, scoring by five lengths. Kennedy stated: “The ground isn’t too bad, so being up with the pace was a help. He did it well.”

The stable representative Robbie Power added: “He had some very good runs over the winter. We were hoping that he would improve for some nicer ground and he definitely did. He jumped and traveled.” They have decided that it will be the last race for the year.

Making her chasing debut, the daughter of Kayf Tara jumped well, prevailing over the more experienced So Des Flos by four lengths. Power expressed: “I was really impressed with her jumping and hopefully she can go onwards now over fences. On the evidence of that, she could well be a better chaser than she was a hurdler.” Additionally, he was taken to University Hospital Limerick for precautionary assessment but was walking and talking before leaving the track.
