The century of successes on the flat and over jumps was reached when Chanceanotherfive, ridden by Brian Hughes, won at Newcastle on Friday.Keith, based at Belstane Racing Stables, said: “I’m not really surprised we’ve reached 100 winners because a couple of months ago I thought we had time to give it a go. It just came sooner than expected.“We are just fortunate that we’ve had good jump horses this year that have put our total number of winners up a bit.“Any other winners we get this year will be a bonus,” he said. “We are quieting down a bit now until January, then we will be back on the all weather.”Keith, who expects to have 120 horses for the 2018 season, wants to train a winning two-year-old at Royal Ascot next year.“Hopefully that will happen but you don’t know what horses are til you see them running in the spring,” he added.
