COLIN Keane moved one ahead (56-55) of Dylan Browne McMonagle in the flat jockeys’ championship when partnering a quickfire 89/1 double in the opening two races, highlighted by the victory of Lady Lunette in the featured Irish Stallion Farms EBF Connacht Oaks Fillies Handicap.

A small field probably helped her,” said Kilkenny trainer Ray Cody of the 9/1 winner.
