The partnership with trainer George Scott stands out as something particularly worth watching. From 94 races together they have produced 15 winners — that's 16%, or close to 1 in every 6 — nearly double Keenan's overall season average. When a jockey and trainer click like that, it often means genuine trust on both sides: the trainer keeps putting him up, and the jockey keeps repaying it. It's the kind of relationship that tends to produce big days at good tracks.

What is really eye-catching right now is his form over the last two weeks. Four winners from 19 rides works out at roughly 1 in every 5 — more than twice his season average of 1 in 11. Short samples can mislead, but a jockey firing at that rate mid-season usually means confidence is high and rides are coming in fit and ready. It is the kind of purple patch that can define a season if he keeps it going.

One more detail worth filing away: on fast, dry ground Keenan has won 2 from 6 races — that's 33%, or 1 in every 3 — a sample too small to be definitive, but a hint that when conditions suit, he is very hard to beat. As British summers heat up and tracks dry out, that could become a real weapon.

Still only four years in and with 183 career winners already banked, Keenan looks like a jockey who is getting better rather than just busier. The George Scott connection, the current form, the results on dry ground — the pieces of a genuinely exciting career are starting to fit together.
