Serious strikes to gain deserved win
Serious Notions and Colin Keane

The Ger Lyons-trained Serious Notions gained a deserved winning bracket when recording a convincing success in the fillies maiden at Roscommon.
Colin Keane was to the fore early on the 2/1 favourite before following Second Princess in the seven-furlong contest.
He took it up again turning for home on the Advertise filly and she stayed on strongly in the closing stages to post a five-and-a-half length win over Castanets
“She was entitled to do that, she obviously got her black-type as a two-year-old (when third in the Ingabelle Stakes),” said Shane Lyons.
“The owners have been very patient with her. They are Irish/American and spend six months of the year over here and six months back in America. Unfortunately they've gone back to America.
“There is a lot of interest in her, for her pedigree, probably to go to America. We'll see what the owners want to do.
“That's box ticked now so we'll go and make a plan for the rest of the year and enjoy the year if she's not sold.”
