Dallas Keen is the fourth all time leading trainer in the history of Lone Star Park with over 200 wins and has won numerous stakes races since the track opened in 1997. Dallas has been the leading trainer twice in the last nine racing seasons and has produced consistent win percentages all over the country for many years.
Although Dallas Keen does not get the headlines of an Asmussen or Calhoun, statistically he is near their equal, boasting a 6-year win percentage of 23 percent. His overall win rate with horses returning from a layoff of 90 days or greater is a very strong 26%, and his route-to-sprint horses are 16 for 47 (33%). Keen does not start many 2-year olds, but his 5 for 12 record is better than a 40% win rate.
Along with his outstanding win percentages, Dallas Keen has been well known for his ability to claim horses and move them up in class. Some move up to become allowance horses, but others have even become stakes horses.
In 2004 Dallas Keen trained Yessirgeneralsir. Dallas is still the only trainer in the history of Lone Star Park to sweep all three awards for the meet with the same horse. Yessirgeneralsir was Texas Bred of the Meet, Older Male of the Meet, and Horse of the Meet. Yessirgeneralsir was also honored with Texas Bred of the Year at the annual TTA Conference.
Some of Dallas Keen's many accomplishments include winning the 1999 Arkansas Derby, 2000 New Orleans Handicap, The Tenacious Handicap, The Whirlaway Handicap, The Diplomat Way, The Sam Houston Sprint Handicap, and the Maxim Gold Cup twice just to name a few.
The best time to reach Dallas Keen to discuss a training program for your thoroughbred horses is after training hours which end at 10 am. You can phone him at (817) 528-6655 seven days a week or reach him by email at dallaskeen@hotmail.com .

KING DAN
KING DAN
From hopeless to Graded stakes placed, KING DAN has come a long way in the Dallas Keen stable.
KING DAN, named after late bloodstock agent Dan Mallory, was diagnosed with OCD's in both stifles as a two year old. The veterinarians first thoughts were he would never be a successful racehorse but KING DAN's owners decided on surgery for the colt. After a lengthy lay off he was sent to Dallas Keen to condition for racing. KING DAN has now defeated horses like RECAPTURETHEGLORY and HALO NAJIB. The hard work definitely paid off and after running a tremendous second to JONESBORO in the TEXAS MILE. He has now earned more than $100,000 in 2009.
Dallas and Dave Hooper, the Executive Director of the Texas Thoroughbred Association, host a group of visitors at Lone Star Parks barn area. Dallas and Dave lectured on what it takes to train a racehorse and how someone could get started in the racing business.
