Keane wins Cork Listed race on Navassa Island Colin Keane and Michael O'Callaghan teamed to win the Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Cork Stakes with Navassa Island. Making her first start since last November, the J C Fleming owned five-year-old travelled strongly in mid division, before coming through to throw down a challenge with over a furlong to race. Leading over 100 yards out, the 10/1 chance asserted close home for a three-and-a-quarter length success. Michael O'Callaghan said: "She really deserved to win a stakes race and had finished second in a Group 3 on her first ever run as a two-year-old. She went to Ascot then and got jarred up and since then, has been placed six times in stakes company. "It is great for her owners who have persevered and given us another go again this year and we had her ready today, knowing she would have her ideal conditions. Colin (Keane) said we can go anywhere with her on heavy ground. "She will have a spring and autumn campaign and will get a break when the ground starts to tighten up, so we'll target some nice races." Additional reporting by Gary Carson.
