Franklyn completes double for Hayes Chris Hayes, earlier successful aboard Master Speaker (8/1) in the third, completed a double in race five on the card at Killarney when guiding Franklyn to victory at odds of 11/1 in the 1m 3f handicap for three-year-olds. Aidan Howard’s handicap debutant kept on strongly to defeat the 3/1 favourite Ellaat by two and a quarter lengths, with Full Moon Magic (9/1) a further length and a quarter back in third. It resulted in a 107/1 double for the County Limerick-born rider. Winning trainer Aidan Howard was pleased with the winner, a gelded son of Archipenko.“I was hopeful coming here today. He was green and raw, and when Chris got stuck into him he stayed on well. He’s still a baby, and the maidens have done him the world of good. “He’s entered again on Monday and on Thursday so we’ll see how he comes out of this.” Additional reporting by Alan Magee
