Keane steers first winner for neighbour Lyons Apprentice jockey Colin Keane partnered his first winner for trainer Ger Lyons at Dundalk this evening when steering Shukhov to win the Rory O'Connor Apprentice Handicap. The son of Ivan Denisovich made all and stayed on well for a length and three parts win over Silverlord. Lyons was represented by his brother Shane Lyons who later stated “Shukhov deserved that as he has been one of the busiest horses here over the winter but put blinkers on him for the first time today. “He had been running well over 1m4f but coming back in trip today suited him and that's his second success here. Colin (son of Ger Keane who trains locally to Lyons) comes into us to ride work.” Quotes from Alan Magee
