The legendary jockey predicted the race perfectly
Flooring Porter floored his rivals as he landed another huge pot for his connections by winning the Kerry National at Listowel on Wednesday.
The legendary jockey said on Racing TV: "I really like Flooring Porter, I think 149 is ten pounds lower than his hurdles mark. He hasn't achieved the same over fences, we know that, but he was really good over fences this time last year. It only started to go pear-shaped for him when he went to Punchestown and went back right-handed.
He was well beaten on his return from a break in a handicap chase at Killarney in July, but roared right back to his brilliant best in County Kerry in the hands of Donoghue.
