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 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. 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, who 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 Arkansas Derby, 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.
