WHETHER he can wrest back his champion jockey crown from Donnacha O’Brien remains to be seen, but 2019 will still go down as a landmark campaign for Colin Keane as a double enabled him to set a personal best tally for a flat season.

On his penultimate ride of the 2017 season, when he was crowned champion jockey, Keane reached the hallowed 100-winner mark. His brace here enabled him to better that tally by one which means that for the first time, in two decades at the very least, two jockeys have recorded a three-figure tally of winners for an Irish flat season.
