Kinsale is king as O’Callaghan sets sights on Royal Ascot

IRISH trainer Carl O’Callaghan could be a new face at Royal Ascot in the summer after hitting the big time with his American raider Kinsale King in the Golden Shaheen at Meydan.

Although he currently resides and trains in California, O’Callaghan was born in Clare and has trained in America since 1990, working for the likes of Todd Pletcher.

His 7-1 chance travelled strongly throughout the six-furlong contest under Garrett Gomez and quickened to the front in the straight.
