Jack Kennedy’s burgeoning talent again to the fore

Jockey Jack Kennedy once again showed his burgeoning talent in best light when recording a near 60-1 double yesterday afternoon at Cork racecourse.

The first leg came aboard the James Nash-trained My Manekineko, in the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Hurdle.

Golden Ticket looked to have stolen the race when turning for home with a clear lead, but Kennedy was confident aboard his mount, and waited until between the last two hurdles to deliver his challenge. The horse asserted late for a half-length victory.
