About
Keep A Knockin' is a 5yo brown gelding from Australia, trained by Helen Harding in Esperance. He is out of the mare Merrylade and sired by Awesome Rock. To date he has won two races, including his biggest triumph on 18 May 2025 at Kalgoorlie, when he captured the $24000.00 2yo+ Class 2 Handicap. The horse has been a profitable choice for bettors, delivering a 15% return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career.
