Ballymote jockey Darragh Keenan enjoyed another double racing success in Australia this weekend.
Keenan, who is spending the winter season racing down under, won two races at Saturday’s meeting at the Wyong Race Club, near Sydney.
Keenan’s two winners were for Sydney-based trainer Ciaran Maher.
First, he scored aboard Dunbelievin in $60k Sky Channel Super Maiden Hurdle – and he followed that up later with victory on Cape Byron in the 1300m Senpos Maiden Handicap.
