EDDIE PAYING A VISIT TO KILKENNY

Ian Fortune

Kilkenny will roll out the red carpet for a special guest on Friday night following the confirmation that English Derby Champion Lennies Eddie will be paraded in front of those in attendance.

Of course, it won’t be his first visit to Kilkenny as he was schooled around the Kilkenny circuit in early 2025 by his breeder John Kennedy before eventually moving to Paul Hennessy.

The Hennessys, Kennedys and owner Lee Craze will all be in attendance with their champion and are certain to get a wonderful reception while the presence of the famous English Derby trophy is also a huge boost. No doubt there will be a queue for photos with the famous silverware.
