Kinane continues in fine form

MICK KINANE continues in excellent form, and the champion jockey and current championship leader, brought his score for the season to 47 when riding a double on the Aidan O’Brien-trained pair Carpanetto and Tumblebrutus at Naas last night.

Both colts started evens favourite for their respective races and Carpanetto, who was making a belated seasonal debut, comfortably landed the one mile Darley Stallions Race, winning by two and a half lengths from Jade Quest.

Kinane brought the winner up the centre of the course for the best of the ground and hit the front almost two furlongs out after Mukammal, who faded to finish seven lengths adrift in third, had made the running.
