Keatley & Corby have day to remember at Ayr Adrian Keatley and Sean Corby had an afternoon to remember at Ayr with Keatley recording a double and Corby a treble. Their initial success came in the first divide of the Racing UK Handicap as Michael's Missile landed a gamble in the colours of Declan Michael Diviney. Having opened at 4/1 on-course the daughter of Majestic Missile was backed into 11/4 at the off. Prominent in the early stages she hit the front over two furlongs out and kept on well under pressure to see of the 6/4 favourite Blue Jacket by a length and a half. Corby then won the Racing UK Day Pass Handicap aboard 12/1 chance Personal Touch for trainer Heather Dalton before completing his treble aboard Elusive Gent for Keatley in Today's Racing Just 10 With RacingUK Handicap. This eight-year-old gelding was placed on his last two starts at Gowran and Sligo respectively and he too was well-backed, going off the 11/8 favourite (from 9/4 on-course and from 10/3 in the morning). Racing in the colours of Stephen Cox the son of Elusive City made all and was ridden clear over a furlong out, keeping on well in the closing stages to see off Spirit Of The Sea by three parts of a length. Keatley and Corby had to settle for second with Lady Ranger in the last, the racinguk.com Apprentice Handicap. Jay Kay won the race after making all and while Lady Ranger attempted to chase him down inside the final furlong she couldn't reel him in and went down by a length and a quarter. Keatley and Corby were also on the mark yesterday at Ayr as Clifton Miss won the first divide of the Bet toteexacta Handicap at the odds of 17/2.
