Adrian Keatley, who made waves in 2016 when winning the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas with Jet Setting (Ire) (Fast Company {Ire}) just two years after taking out his trainers' license, told Racing Post he will close his Irish stable and relocate to the North of England in search of better opportunities.
“I'm going to re-base myself and start again,” Keatley told Racing Post, saying he has found a new base and a few owners to support him there.
“Training in Ireland hasn't been paying the bills for me for the last year and a half so I had to make a decision,” he said. “I'm lucky I'm young enough that I have no commitments and I have nothing tying me down to stay in Ireland. A lot of other lads wouldn't be able to do what I'm doing.”
Keatley had a career-best 14 winners in 2017 but this year saddled just two winners.
