Ton up for Keane

Colin Keane partnered his 100th winner when Togoville supplied trainer Pat Martin with a welcome winner in the Supervalu's Roscommon Handicap.

The grey Verglas gelding was well-fancied to step-up on a couple of third placings and the 100/30 shot saw out the seven furlongs better than Red Laser or the front-running favourite Apache Gold

Two and a quarter lengths and half a length separated the first three at the line.

"We've had a good few knock on the door so it's nice to get one home," stated Martin.

He went on: "We knew there'd be plenty of pace though they didn't seem to go over quick.

"He's an honest horse, he's brave and he seems to be ground adaptable.

"The owners are both from the North – Patrick McCann is from Armagh and Paul (Kelly) is too.

"They're both Armagh supporters so that's consolation for yesterday (beaten in an Ulster semi-final by Monaghan). Both of them are actually involved with the team too." (DM & EM)
