Ali Keating was all smiles at York Racecourse as she cheered on her boyfriend, jockey Rossa Ryan, who stormed to victory in Friday’s opening race after a heartbreaking near‑miss the day before.

Ronan Keating’s 20‑year‑old daughter was trackside as Rossa guided Blue Courvoisier to a front‑running win in the Sky Bet Mile Handicap. It was a sweet turnaround after Thursday’s disappointment, when he finished second in the prestigious Yorkshire Oaks by just a short head.

While the star jockey was gutted, he had one person by his side to support him no matter what the outcome.

Ali shared a video on her social media of Rossa walking into the winners’ enclosure, clearly thrilled to see him bounce back so quickly.

It’s been a strong season for the Galway rider, who also claimed the Silver Bowl at Carlisle earlier this year and continues to impress with his consistency and grit.

Only recently, Ali spoke about how the pair are very happy, and she loves being with someone who shares her interests in horses.

The couple were first spotted at Ascot earlier this summer, and have been inseparable ever since.

For Ali, who has been quietly supporting Rossa throughout a packed summer of racing, Friday’s win was a proud moment — and fans were quick to spot her excitement online.

With more major fixtures ahead, the couple are fast becoming one of racing’s sweetest young pairings.
