Jack Kennedy shines on Walkabout in Ballinrobe

Jack Kennedy followed up Sunday’s double at Downpatrick by claiming another brace in Ballinrobe last night.

Kennedy completed his double by winning the featured, €30,000 E.P.S. 4-Y-0 Handicap Hurdle on Walkabout for his boss Gordon Elliott.

Unlucky in a couple of recent starts, Walkabout, who is owned by a syndicate including Gary O’Brien of At The Races, raced handily and was sent for home on the approach to the straight before beating recent Sligo winner Duke Cass and Tagg’s Island.
