Tide Of Time asserts under Colin Keane© Photo Healy Racing
It’s back out to a gap of 8 (94 — 86) as Colin Keane maintained an excellent run towards the champion jockey title on Tide Of Time in the Like Navan On Facebook Handicap.
Shane Foley won the previous race on Sounds Of Spring but Keane struck back immediately on Navan sprint specialist Tide Of Time.
There were two firsts for the now four time Proudstown Park scorer here, cheek-pieces added for the initial occasion, and Keane up top. He hadn’t ridden the Choisir gelding in a race before.
After Tide Of Time had seen off Arcanears by half a length, winning trainer Eddie Lynam said: “He loves it here and it's good to get another one with him.
“We've been fiddling around with headgear on him but he did it well today. It probably wasn't the strongest 0-95 you'll ever get with only five runners but as I say he loves it here.
“That's four times he's won here and he's won in Naas and 'the Maze' as well.
“He's a home-bred and is owned by myself and Trevor Dalzell. The mare has bred us this fella, Magic Bear and Rough Diamond so she has been good to us.”
