Kilkenny’s resurgence priceless for Hennessy

By trainer Paul Hennessy’s own admission, Priceless Sky is not very well known on the Open Race circuit but heading into Saturday night’s semi-finals of the Kerry Agribusiness St Leger, he’s vying for outright favouritism with Derby winner Skywalker Puma and former Puppy Derby winner Sparta Maestro.

He has been one of the revelations of the competition and his 29.44 victory in last weekend’s quarter-finals sets the standard.

But his apparent rise from obscurity is not so much down to a sudden improvement in form, rather a result of the recent resurgence of Kilkenny track.
