Racing pundits luck out at the FF tent

IT was a financial stroke of luck that even Bertie Ahern couldn’t dream of. His daughter Cecelia’s boyfriend David Keoghan put €100 each way and €100 to win on My Valley at 25 to 1 and came out €6,000 wealthier.

“I really don’t have a clue about horse racing, I knew nothing about the horse before hand,” he said, in a denial that made him fit in like a pro at his first-ever visit to the Fianna Fáil tent.

“They said to me ‘he’s way out, he doesn’t stand a chance’ and I thought, sure, the poor fella, why not give him a chance,” said the young actor.
