By mere coincidence, both the New York Racing Association and Churchill Downs kicked off their fall meets on Thursday. Also by mere coincidence, the first race at both was won by an Irish jockey. Declan Cannon brought in Laurence McGrath's Hornbeam for trainer Andrew McKeever at Churchill. He rallied the Juddmonte castoff, a 3-year-old gelding, to…
