Who battles hard for Kilkenny win

Fri 28th Jan 2011, 14:46

The Kilkenny Handicap Hurdle produced a thrilling finish at Gowran Park with Whodoyouthink proving ultra game to just shade the verdict.

Oliver McKiernan 's charge hit the front three from home but hard to work hard down the straight under Paddy Flood. Might Be Magic threw down a strong challenge before the last and the pair were locked together on the run-in with Whodoyouthink just getting the nod on the line.

"He's a game horse and had to be to carry top weight on that ground. He stuck at it well," said McKiernan.

"He probably needs a bit further and I'd say he'll step up in trip next time."
