Review killarney 18th Aug
< Le Vagabond secured the biggest prize at Killarney when running on strongly to land the At The Races Kingdom Gold Cup.
Never too far off the pace under Billy Lee, the 9-2 chance went for home at the elbow and came nicely clear, finishing two and a half lengths ahead of Artful Artist
Aidan O'Brien got the meeting under way with a winner as Wings Of Eagles got the better of odds-on favourite Birds Of Prey in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden.
The first two tracked Hailstone throughout the early stages of the race, but moved on over a furlong out and it was Wings Of Eagles (5-2) who proved the strongest, winning by a length and a quarter.< Kubali proved a class apart in the Dunloe Hotel Handicap.
Ger Lyons' 7-4 favourite shrugged off the steadier of 10 stone to bound clear in the home straight under Colin Keane, scoring by seven lengths from Path Of Silver < King's Wharf may not be a star of the Willie Mullins yard, but the 109-rated chaser bagged his third straight success in the Owens McCarthy Claims Specialists Handicap Chase.
British raider Owen Na View led for much of the contest, but Ruby Walsh got the 11-8 favourite upsides at the last and he ran on well to score by three lengths.< Baily Cloud got back to winning ways to land the Killarney Oaks Hotel Novice Chase.
Mouse Morris' 12-1 chance had been disappointing in recent outings, but bounced back well, taking up the running before the last and going clear, recording a length and a half success over the fast finishing Tiger Roll
Paddy Neville's Kemboy (12-1) came out on top under Ryan Treacy in an incident-packed Malton Hotel Handicap Chase, which saw both Misdflight and Not For You pushed off track by the jinking Ard Cregg approaching the second last.
