Colin Keane completed a double at Dundalk today as the former Champion Jockey bagged wins in both divisions of the Christmas Party Packages At Dundalk Nursery, completed with Whoareyouanyway for his employer, trainer Ger Lyons.
The son of Lethal Force today defied top weight of 10st2lbs when beating runner-up Laurel Grove by half a length.
Afterwards trainer Lyons' brother and assistant Shane Lyons reported “he did everything wrong and did it the hard way.
“He needs to mature a little bit as he was just a little immature at the start. We wanted to get a hood on him and he was just being babyish.
“We'll give him a rest now and let him enjoy the winter. He's broke his maiden, which we're delighted with, and hopefully he grows mentally.
“He'll probably come back towards the end of the Dundalk campaign just to start off for the season.
“That was a fair performance carrying top-weight of 10st 2lb. The race didn't go to plan and he still did it so we're very happy with that.”
Jockey Keane won the half-hour earlier opening divide of the race with the Johnny Murtagh trained Distant Vista
