Sport makes winning start over timber Kenisa Sport powered home in the closing stages to run out a convincing winner on her hurdling debut at Kilbeggan. The Gordon Elliott-trained mare went to post a 5/2 shot in the opening mares maiden hurdle having landed a bumper at Downpatrick on her last outing. Jack Kennedy produced the No Risk At All mare to challenge over the final flight and she pulled away in the closing stages to post a five length success over Kabylia. “She’s very honest,” said Elliott. “We were worried about the trip and said we’d ride her as handy as we could. Jack said she was flat out with a circuit to go. “The further she goes the better she’ll be. She’ll probably go to Galway for a long distance novice hurdle.”
