FRESH from recording his first Listowel Festival winner, jockey Sean O’Keeffe got off the mark at Galway with a double which featured a victory for the very capable Western Victory in the Deacy Gilligan Irish EBF Mares Hurdle.

This mare accounted for Getaway Katie Mae when recording her sole previous success, which came at this track last October, and this time accounted for another very decent type in Great White Shark (4/6 favourite and distressed post-race) who could only manage third.
