Pony racing champion Colin Keane partnered his first winner under rules when successful aboard No Trimmings trained by his father Gerry, in division two of the Crowne Plaza Leading Jockey & Trainer Championship Handicap.
The 16-year-old was having just his seventh ride on the track but has ridden 85 winners on the pony racing circuit, and was seen to good effect here on the four-year-old filly.
She was driven to the front inside the final furlong, and kept on well to beat Via Mia by a length with Oversighted a further length and three quarters back in third.
“We thought a lot of her last year but she has been very disappointing this year. Maybe Colin's 10lb claim made the difference,” said proud trainer Gerry Keane afterwards.
