Champion jockey Jack Kennedy scheduled for surgery after breaking his leg for a sixth time
Croke Park asserts to win the Bar One Racing Drinmore Novice Chase at Fairyhouse on Sunday. Photograph: Evan Treacy/PALuck’s vagaries were on show at Sunday’s Winter Festival in Fairyhouse when champion jockey Jack Kennedy’s misfortune underlined how fate favoured his best friend Sam Ewing, who secured unlikely Grade One glory on Croke Park.
Croke Park stepped up on previous form, jumped exceptionally well and stacked his opposition behind him from some way out. Donoghue on Firefox was looking for room early in the straight and in a blanket finish had to settle for third with Heat Wood splitting the stable companions. Elliott described his stable jockey as “obviously very upset and low” but stressed all the talent in his powerful yard will be waiting for Kennedy’s return which is expected to be before the Cheltenham Festival in March.
