Hayes drives snow to victory The opening race on The Curragh this afternoon was won by Chris Hayes aboard Kevin Prendergasts Driving Snow in the familiar colours of Lady O?Reilly. Driving Snow just held on by a neck to hold the Aidan O?Brien colt Freemantle. Kevin said, ?he is going to improve from this he was unlucky at Gowran the last day. He did that well and stuck at it well.?
