The early numbers are modest but not unusual for a yard finding its feet. One winner from 13 runners this season works out at roughly 1 in every 13 races, which is below the average you'd hope for eventually, but sample sizes this small rarely tell the full story. What is slightly encouraging is that on normal ground, the team has won 1 from 5 — that's 20%, or 1 in every 5, which is a meaningful uptick and suggests the yard's horses may perform better when conditions are straightforward rather than testing.
Jack Mitchell has been the go-to jockey, partnering Keane's horses on 12 occasions for that single winner. The most regular horse in the yard, Miletus, has run four times without winning, which is something to watch rather than worry about at this stage. Four races is not enough to draw firm conclusions about any horse.
At this point, Keane is simply a trainer to keep an eye on rather than one to make bold claims about. The story is only just starting to be written.
