Jack Kennedy and Bryan Cooper make their mark in Ballinrobe

Kennedy, who celebrated his 17th birthday last month, rode out his claim when winning the opening maiden hurdle on Norman Lee’s Troublesomebrothers, while Cooper enjoyed a comfortable win on odds-on favourite Tocororo in the Mulberry restaurant @ Breaffy Hurdle, his last ride ahead of surgery on his leg this morning.
Kennedy had a straight-forward task on Troublesombrothers, tracking front-running Miss Benefitz before easing to the front around the final bend for a convincing, six-and-a-half lengths win.
