Pahaska (Jack Kennedy, nearside, winner) battles it out with brother Paddy on Magic Of Light© Photo Healy Racing
The Kennedy brothers were to the fore as Jack landed the Book Online At www.limerickraces.ie Mares Handicap Hurdle on the youngest horse in the race, four-year-old filly Pahaska
Paddy was still there with every chance on Magic Of Light when that one made a mistake at the last.
It was then left to Whats In It For Me to give Pahaska most to do, but there was still a neck between them at the line. Magic Of Light ended up a length and a quarter back in third.
Jack Kennedy was once again demonstrating his talent and indeed toughness here, on the Gigginstown House Stud-owned and Gordon Elliott-ridden Pahaska, as he'd taken a nasty looking fall from Sheera in the opener on the card.
"She was getting all the allowances today and if she was ever going to win, it would have been today," said Kennedy.
"Her jumping is brilliant and it keeps her in the race. She travelled well today and kept going well to the line."
