About
Keepsgettingbetter is a 3yo bay horse trained by Donnacha O'Brien in Tipperary. He is by the stallion Sottsass out of Mascha and has recorded two victories to date. On 21 March 2026 at Dundalk he claimed his most valuable win, collecting the $15,000 handicap. The horse has been a good value for bettors; a full‑career backing would have yielded a 152% return on investment.
