Turf Talk
Warren Kennedy, fresh over a Gr 1 win over the weekend, has had a winner at both meetings he has ridden in this week and that has taken him to 50 wins for the season and a lead of nine in the New Zealand jockeys premiership.
In second place on 41 is Irish ex-patriot jockey Joe Doyle.
Below is a promotion for the “Grand Tour NZ”, which explains it all:
