Lyons and Keane dominate with 519/1 treble

Colin Keane rode the first treble of his career, at combined odds of 519/1 when teaming up for the hat-trick with his boss Ger Lyons at Fairyhouse. The three-timer was completed by Sean Jones' Azurite in the Like Fairyhouse On Facebook Handicap.

Earlier a winner on Buenos Y Bobos and Chocolate Diamond Keane got Azurite to the front a furlong and a half from home.

The slow starting Coolfighter came through from the rear to chase Azurite inside the final furlong but he was still a length and a half in arrears at the line.

Again Shane Lyons was on hand to represent Glenburnie Stables and he said: "We're delighted to have a treble. I love this horse and he'll be a fine horse next year when he fills into himself.

"He's in the October Horses In Training Sale at Newmarket and I'd say the jumping lads will be keen on him." (AM & EM)
