Viper gives Harrington quick brace Jessica Harrington bagged a quick double at Leopardstown today when Dark Viper swooped to land the Gables Foxrock Cup Handicap. Keithen Kennedy produced his mount with a strong run to lead over a furlong from home in the mile contest. The Dark Angel gelding was always doing enough late on to secure a three-parts-of-a-length win over Terre De Vega. It was a second win this season for the 10/3 shot who had also been placed four times this year. “He had a great run last time in Punchestown and he’s a great horse,” said Harrington. “He’s won two this year and he’s been placed, he rarely runs a bad race which is fantastic. He’s very consistent. “He’s creeping up now and we might just give him one more run on the last day of the year. “He actually goes on any ground and has run well on the all-weather as well. He’s very versatile.”
