Keane doubles up on Emeric Emeric justified strong support in the concluding ten furlong handicap when running out a convincing winner in the driving rain, giving Colin Keane a double on the card at Dundalk tonight. The Paul Flynn-trained went to post a 6/4 shot, having been 5/2 this morning, and could be called the winner some way from home. He travelled well to lead a furlong-and-a-half from home and galloped on strongly in the closing stages to post a two-and-a-half length win over Dark Street. The winner had been runner-up on his last outing at the venue in December. Flynn said: "I wasn't surprised by that but he is just a work in progress. "When I went to buy him a year ago, I said this is a real smart horse. He just wasn't right and never ran the way I said he'd run. "He's just a different horse now. "Worse case scenario, I should be well enough handicapped to come back here next winter. Ideally, we will go hurdling." (Quotes by Michael Graham)
