HENNESSY’S ENGLISH DERBY PREP GOING WELL

Ian Fortune

Paul Hennessy is another man seeking to add to his haul in the upcoming English Derby.

After twice winning the classic in the past with Jaytee Jet and Priceless Blake, while also going close with a number of others, he is readying a talented team for this year’s renewal.

The exciting Lennies Eddie did plenty to enhance his already lofty reputation at Towcester on Sunday, winning his Derby Trial Stakes in emphatic fashion. Drawn in two, he forced his way to the front in the early yards before putting his rivals to the sword down the back.

Galloping right to the line, he emerged a facile three and three quarter length scorer over Zenith Jimbombom in a fast 28.62.

DYNAMIC TRIALS

The hugely talented Lennies Dynamic also had his first look at Towcester.

 Posting 28.83 for the 500m trip. Running wide throughout, he seems likely to come on greatly for the experience.
