SARAIDE SET TO PARADE AT KILKENNY ON FRIDAY

Ian Fortune

One of Kilkenny’s favourite son’s Murt Leahy will be on hand at Kilkenny track on Friday evening with his most recent Oaks champion Fleadh Saraide set to parade between races.

Of course, the razor-sharp daughter of Ballymac Best dead-heated for Oaks glory at Shelbourne Park last weekend with A Lucky Julie and her presence is sure to cause excitement.

It’s not the first time Murt has been lucky enough to parade an Oaks champion at his local track as he was also lucky enough to win the bitch classic in 2022 with the brilliant Raha Mofo. There must be something in the air in Kilkenny.
