OFFALY’S Darragh Kenny ruled supreme in the $116,100 five-star WEF Challenge Round 9 at Wellington International in Florida last Thursday, when he rode the Oakland Stables newcomer, 11-year-old mare Zero K to take the win, with a double clear round over Alan Wade’s track in a jump-off time of 34.86.

Kenny left nothing to chance, finishing over a second ahead of runner-up Daniel Bluman (ISR) on Gemma W (36.07) to secure the winner’s cheque of $38,313. Spencer Smith (USA) placed third on Keeneland, while Derry man Jordan Coyle on For Gold placed 10th in the class with an unfortunate four faults in the jump-off.
