Australia’s Adelaide River Takes The Kilternan

[Wandering Eyes]

Becoming the third winner on Leopardstown's Irish Champions Day card for Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore, Adelaide River (Ire) (Australia {GB}) made all to enjoy his slice of the action in the G3 Paddy Power S. registered as the Kilternan S. Always comfortable in a clear lead, the G1 Irish Derby and G1 Grand Prix de Paris runner-up turned the screw from the top of the straight and may have been idling late as Al Aasy (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) threatened and found the line half a length ahead of that raider.

 

Adelaide River has run a number of fine races in defeat this season & the Irish Derby runner-up proves too strong in the G3 @paddypower Stakes!
