DINGLE’S JACK KENNEDY had a day to remember at Ballybrit today, steering second favourite Clondaw Warrior to victory in the feature on Day 5 of the Galway Races.
Kennedy was riding for the Willie Mullins trained horse as it came home to win the Guinness Handicap by one-and-a-half lengths from 7/2 favourite Golden Spear.
It was a winner on Kennedy’s first ever ride for Mullins, the 16-year-old claiming a win at the Galway festival after two second place finishes earlier in the week.
