Hennessy makes debut as racehorse trainer

Champion Irish greyhound trainer Paul Hennessy will branch out tomorrow night when he saddles his first two runners at a horse race meeting.

Hennessy will launch his ‘new career’ when he saddles Cheers Buddy and Bricks And Porter in handicaps on the all weather at Dundalk.

Hennessy completed all the Turf Club requirements prior to receiving his licence and he has been working these two horses, in which he holds shares, at the nearby gallops owned by his friend Tony Mullins.
