What a night for Keane as he makes it 2 on Knockgraffon

After race at Dundalk Fri, 16th Dec, 2011 (1st)

I wasn't going to come back until January with him but he was so well in himself I decided to bring him back today. He's a good horse and he'll make a good dual purpose horse.

M J Byrne

After race at Dundalk Fri, 9th Dec, 2011 (1st)

He's improving and we know how to ride him now. We were making the running and he wasn't getting home. We'll come back here on the eighth of January for another one of these.

M J Byrne

After race at Dundalk Fri, 2nd Dec, 2011 (1st)

We were making the running with him when we should have been holding on to him.
