Kells Priory (2017)
About
Kells Priory is a 8yo b trained by Louise G Lyons in Kilkenny. He is by the stallion Valirann out of Kells Hall. To date, Kells Priory has secured two victories. His most notable win came on 28 January 2022 at Gowran Park, where he claimed the $15,500 Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Hurdle (80‑123). Over his career he has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him from the start would have yielded a 112% return on investment.
