Did you know: John Kiely has long been recognised as one of the shrewdest trainers in Ireland, having mastered his trade over a period of over 40 years. Not the type to seek the limelight, Kiely is one of the most respected members of the training ranks and his yard will more often than not house a talented horse. His brother David rode John's first winner, Ballymac Boy, in the Ladies Cup at the Punchestown Festival in 1976.
