Review dundalk 18th Apr

Despite just the four runners going to post, Dundalk's Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race served up a real thriller, with little more than a length separating the quartet at the business endWed 18th Apr

97 and counting for brilliant Keane

"This is Colin Keane's night, this is Colin Keane's year, he's gone ten clear and that's the championship," said commentator Des Scahill as the man of the moment in the weigh-room again pleased many a punter in bringing up a Dundalk treble. The 194/1 hat-trick was completed aboard Tom McCourt's Ben Rumson in the concluding race, division two of the Crowne Plaza Hotel Dundalk Handicap. Wed 01st Nov

Review dundalk 1st Nov

Colin Keane all but confirmed victory in the jockeys' title race as he added a treble at Dundalk, including victory in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden on OvercomingWed 01st Nov

100 not out of the question for Keane

He impeded well-backed favourite Financial Conduct (4th) when edging to his right inside the final quarter mile, but after surviving a steward's enquiry Bid Adieu's jockey Colin Keane was able to click the scoreboard up to 96 for the campaign, after victory in the www.dundalkstadium.com Maiden. Wed 01st Nov

Relentless progress from Keane and Lyons

It's probably just a case of 'nails in the coffin' at this stage as Colin Keane approaches the century mark for the campaign. He moved eight ahead of Pat Smullen (95 - 87) as Overcoming brought him ever closer to being champion jockey with his win in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden (Plus 10 Race) at Dundalk.

After race at Dundalk Wed, 1st Nov, 2017 (1st)

Patience has paid off with him. We ran him a few months ago but he was colty. We ran him to kind of teach him his job and he was just weak, and got a little upset at the start,. We took our time with him and if Colin wasn't going for the championship we might not have run him as we do like him. It was only in the last month that he started telling us that he had strengthened up and was really appreciating the little bit of time we gave him. There was plenty of talk for a couple of horses in this race and it scared us a little bit but we actually thought this lad would run well tonight and that it would take a good one to beat him. The horse that finished second is a nice horse and finished third behind a nice one of ours (McMunigal) so that was a nice line and he's after franking that. He wants a trip and we're really looking forward to this lad. Thanks to China Horse Club and Mick Flanagan for keeping the faith. We're going to treat him with a bit of respect as it was always next year with this lad. That's it now, he's done his job for Colin, he'll have a nice rest. He's a handy horse and it won't take a lot to get him going again. He'll have a break now and we'll see how he is after Christmas.
