    FRIDAY, 9 AUGUST 2019 FAST START FOR KEOGH AT THE CURRAGH GOFFS UNVEILS DEEP By Kelsey Riley ORBY CATALOGUE Late last month Pat Keogh, chief executive officer at Leopardstown since 2011, took up the same position at The Curragh upon the resignation of Derek McGrath. The fast nature of that change over means that Keogh will slowly phase out of his Leopardstown role, presiding over both racecourses until the conclusion of Longines Irish Champions Weekend on Sept. 14 and 15. It is no secret that the redeveloped Curragh Racecourse, unveiled after three years of construction this spring, has undergone some growing pains which have already been addressed by racecourse management. TDN International Editor Kelsey Riley spoke with Keogh on Thursday ahead of his first Curragh meeting in his new job, Friday=s Keeneland Phoenix S. card, and Keogh said he is committed to restoring the Irish racing faithful=s love of the historic course.
