Keane back in front by one again

Well-backed favourite My Good Brother won the Like Us On Facebook Handicap at Dundalk for the second year in succession to put Colin Keane back in front by one in the race for champion jockey honours.

Keane was always to the fore from his box three draw on Tom McCourt's charge, and the eight-year-old took his tenth career victory, and his sixth at Dundalk, by three parts of a length and a head from Mo Henry and Alfredo Arcano

"He's been in great old form and we were disappointed he got beat on the beach. We thought he was a good thing there as he loves that surface, rattling off it," said McCourt.

"It's grand to get him back winning again. He's been in right old form recently and we would have been disappointed if he had got beat.

"When he gets in that frame of mind he's very fast. He's just getting a little bit difficult in the stalls and sometimes he's just not getting away as well as he needs to for the sprints but he was good today.

"He had a nice draw and he was able to make use of it.

"Hopefully we'll keep him on the go for the winter. We just need to keep him sound and keep him well. Hopefully the handicapper is kind to him."
