Hi!
My name is Darragh Keogh but everyone calls me ‘Fish’. I am 16 years old. I am
from a small place that not many people have heard of called Kilberry in County
Kildare, it is only a 20 minutes’ drive from RACE. I have a great interest in
horses and the Racing Industry. I have worked with horses since I was about 12
years old and I am from a hunting background. I have worked with trainer
Maurice Phelan since 2016 and I have learned a lot there before coming to RACE
in August 2017.
For
work placement, I was sent out to Dermot Welds top yard by. I was in Rosewell
for a few days before I was sent to the bottom yard and loved it there. I am
now in the bottom yard in Rathbride, riding yearlings, two-year olds and older
horses. I love it there and I have gained plenty of experience and plenty of advice
from Amateur, Flat, National Hunt Jockeys both retired and currently licensed,
such as Derek McCormack and Tommy Tracey.
When
I finish the course at RACE, I hope to move on to a National Hunt yard and take
out a Conditional Licence.
Darragh was placed
with Dermot Weld on the 20th of November 2017
