Negotiating opportunities that can sometimes be few and far between, Coriah Keatings has taken full advantage of her chances in recent weeks.
Stretching back to Boxing Day, Keatings, who’s ridden 113 career victories, has had 13 rides and won six of them, triumphing at Queanbeyan, Canberra, Sapphire Coast, Canterbury, Gundagai, and Moruya.
Kicking off 2026 in style, Keatings had one ride in town, teaming up with Anthony Warren when guiding Scarli Japali ($31) to a boilover victory in the 1900m Benchmark 64 Handicap on New Year’s Day.
It was a cracking ride on the Canberra-trained galloper, with Keatings muscling the 5YO Adelaide mare into space before powering to a good win.
The following day, Keatings was riding at Gundagai and, combining with Nick Olive, won the Adelong Cup on emergency galloper, Oneforian ($4.80).
The 5YO Rich Enuff gelding was taken to the front from gate eight, and from there, made every post a winner, putting the best part of two lengths on the good field.
Shining the spotlight on her good recent run, Keatings was then in action on the Moruya Cup program and won on the Matthew Kelley-trained Wish You Were Here ($10) in the 1425m Class One Handicap.
Keatings backs up at Orange on Tuesday, taking just one ride when again teaming up with Kelley, this time riding Kotaishi ($9.50) in the 1400m Class 2 Handicap.
