Shaun Phelan breaks Hawke's Bay Hurdles duckRACE IMAGES Shaun Phelan and Kipkeino leap a hurdle on their way to victory in the Hawke's Bay Hurdles. Shaun Phelan has only been legged-up onto Kipkeino once but has seen enough to know what the promising jumper can achieve. Kipkeino ($6.70), trained at Waipukurau by Lucy de Lautour, was a one and a quarter length winner of Saturday's $50,000 Hawke's Bay Hurdles. Saturday's victory was a rewarding one for Phelan, who had twice finished second in the Hawke's Bay Hurdles, but until had never won the race. The Hawke's Bay Hurdles win was just the second over sticks for Kipkeino but he also has four seconds amongst his seven hurdle starts.
