Hennessy earns plaudits on Salt Lake City Salt Lake City picked up Listed honours for Aidan O'Brien in the Irish Stallion Farms Irish EBF Vincent O'Brien Ruby Stakes at Killarney. The 5/1 shot tracked throughout over this extended mile trip and made progress for Killian Hennessy a quarter of a mile from home. He maintained continuous headway to swoop close home by a head from Didn'thavemuchtodo at 9/2. Howyoulikethat (10/1) completed the placings in third. Stable representative Chris Armstrong said: "He had a lovely run in the Minstrel Stakes, and he was a bit unlucky. He would have finished closer except that he just got held up at the wrong time. He went to Galway, and Galway just never happened for him as he just never handled the track. "Aidan felt he would handle Killarney and Killian gave him a lovely ride. He kept it uncomplicated, floated around the bend, and just let him creep into it nicely. "There’s only one winning post and he made sure he got the right one. It’s fantastic for Killian, he's well able to ride and it’s just getting the opportunities. Every opportunity Aidan has given him, he has delivered on this year, and he has a fair strike-rate.” Additional reporting by Tom Weekes
