About
Keke is a 6yo horse trained by E Lyman. He is by Dandy Man out of Destieux and has claimed six wins to date. On 29 Jun 2025 at the Curragh he captured his most valuable triumph, taking the $99,999.00 Hcp. Punters have found him profitable, and a lifelong backer would have realized a 34% return on investment.
