DARRAGH O’Keeffe’s relentless pursuit of the season’s conditional jockeys’ title seems to gather more momentum with each week that passes and the jockey moved past the 30-winner mark for the season with a double.

The rider already boasts a total that would have won him the championship in previous years and to have achieved such a tally by the end of August is testament to an incredible season. What makes his efforts all the more meritorious is that it is just over 13 months ago that he rode the first winner of his career at the Killarney July Festival.
