Trainer Jessica Harrington and champion jockey Jack Kennedy do not combine all that often, but they did so successfully at Fairyhouse last week.
Quinta Do Lago is a decent sort and the 7-4 favourite won the 2m4f rated hurdle by a cosy four lengths.
“That’s my first winner for Jessie for a while and I am delighted to repay her,” Kennedy said.
“This horse has plenty of ability and he will get further. He has worn cheekpieces before and maybe they might use them again.”
“He keeps a bit for himself but at the same time he is tough and genuine,” Harrington added.
“There might be a race for him in France in the near future, a Grade 1 for four-year-olds only.”
