Killarney’s August meeting opened with a Flat card on which John Murphy and Dermot Weld both recorded a double, but Willie Mullins captured the featured Kingdom Gold Cup with Zenon.

Formerly trained by John Gosden, he showed little in early starts for Mullins but outran odds of 50-1 when fourth in the Connacht Hotel QR Race on the opening day of the Galway Races.
