Five-time champion jockey Colin Keane again heads this year's title race and recorded a final-races double at Naas today, on the Michael O'Callaghan-trained Facethepuckout (9/2) in the concluding Bert House Stud Handicap.
The eight-year-old's previous win was gained over today's course and seven-furlong-distance and today scored a battling success when scoring by a head and a half-length from Physique and Sara Valentina
O'Callaghan commented “that's a little surprise because I said to Colin that the horse is well but will probably just take blow, as there is a race for him in Galway. He said at the furlong pole he 'exploded' and went for girths, but filled himself up and he said he is just well.
“He's only won a head, he's an eight-year-old and is a fun horse.
“He's in the Ahonoora at Galway and might get in off a low weight. He'd carry a penalty in that or we might look at another ordinary handicap in the week where he might be re-assessed.”
