Can Adrian Keatley's red-hot streak continue at Newcastle? The trainer, who recently won the Classic, is hoping to secure his seventh consecutive winner at the Newcastle racecourse on Thursday evening. Keatley's success is largely attributed to his team's hard work and the exceptional performance of his horses, particularly Aisling Oscar, who has been a key contributor to the six-race winning streak. Aisling Oscar's winning run began with a BHA rating of 46 over the same course and distance last November, and he recently defied a mark of 60 to score at a mile there on Tuesday. Keatley's team is optimistic about Aisling Oscar's chances in the 7f handicap race, with the horse's weight effectively reduced to 58 due to Conor Whiteley's 7lb claim. If Aisling Oscar wins again, Keatley will aim for an eighth consecutive victory with Kihavah in the Group 3 Al Khail Trophy at Meydan on Friday. Kihavah has shown significant improvement since his first run in Dubai, and Keatley is confident of a strong performance. Keatley's success extends beyond Aisling Oscar and Kihavah. He previously won the Irish 1,000 Guineas with Jet Setting in 2016. Keatley's team's hard work and the exceptional performance of his horses, like Nightflyer, have been instrumental in his recent success. Keatley remains focused on the future, not dwelling on past achievements or failures. The article concludes with a spotlight on Aisling Oscar's performance, highlighting his ability to comfortably win despite a 5lb penalty. Keatley's team's dedication and Keatley's leadership have been key factors in his success, and the trainer's positive outlook bodes well for future victories.
