Hennessy living Festival dream with Heaven Help Us
Trainer no stranger to Greyhound Derby glory – now for Cheltenham.
A return to the Cheltenham Festival is next on the agenda for Heaven Help Us following her victory at Leopardstown. On a weekend dominated by the all-conquering Willie Mullins, Heaven Help Us struck a blow for the smaller trainer at the Dublin Racing Festival when claiming a narrow verdict in the Paddy Mullins Mares Handicap Hurdle for Paul Hennessy. The Kilkenny-based handler is no stranger to big-race success, having produced two winners of the English Greyhound Derby in Jaytee Jet (2016) and Priceless Blake (2019). However, having been a long-time friend of the Mullins family, Hennessy admitted he is still on cloud nine as he reflected on one of the greatest days of his professional life.👏 Fine ride Richard Condon
