Conditional jockey Niall Prendergast gave trainer Paul Hennessy a famous winner when partnering Falcon Park to win the two-mile opportunity handicap hurdle.

Paul Hennessy is one of Ireland's leading greyhound trainers and became a Cheltenham Festival winning trainer in 2021 when the Richie Condon-ridden Heaven Help Us landed the Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle.

The 16/1 chance 'Falcon Park' came home for Mrs Susan E. Hennessy and went clear at the final hurdle to beat Ross O'Sullivan’s 100/30 shot Bishbashbosh by five and a half lengths on New Years eve.
