Spanish Maid wins to give Kenneally Tramore treble Jockey Michael Kenneally recorded a treble on the card when guiding the Ross O'Sullivan trained Spanish Maid to victory in the concluding SETU Students Day April 20th Handicap Chase at Tramore. Sent off 1/1f, the Rory Larkin owned eight-year-old was making the breakthrough on her 20th career start. Moving strongly on the heels of the leaders after two out, Kenneally led jumping the last, staying on well to win by two-and-a-half lengths. Trainer Ross O'Sullivan, who was completing a double on the afternoon, said: "She kind of got leery in front the last day at Wexford and pricked her ears, so the cheekpieces probably helped her today and we brought her back a bit in trip. "She is a grand filly, jumps well and has plenty of experience. It wasn't the strongest of races, but in her own bracket she could be capable of winning again. She has a nice mark and as I said, it was a very weak race. "I'm delighted again for Rory, he is in the road from us in Naas and we've had two winners for him this week, so it's great. They picked out this filly and bought her and hopefully he'll get a couple more. "I'm delighted for Mike as well, it gives him a chance in that conditional riders race."
