LEXINGTON KY, Wednesday late morning, a couple of days before the 2020 Breeders’ Cup meeting, and Colin Keane and Shane Foley are going for lunch together.

Rivals on the racecourses all over Ireland all year, together they lit up the Irish flat racing scene, pushed each other forward, pushed Keane to triple figures again and Foley damn close in a year that included a gaping two-and-a-half-month hole. Their duel for the championship a thread that ran through the entire season.
