Jockey Keith Dalgleish has retired from racing at the age of 21 after suffering an on-going battle with the scales.

Keith Dalgleish, who rode Yavana’s Pace into third place in the Grade One Canadian International at Woodbine, Toronto, last night jetted back to his native Scotland and took the riding honours with a 19-1 treble at Hamilton today.

Dual Irish Classic third Ballingarry dramatically spread-eagled his field by around four lengths to land the Canadian International, the latest leg of the World Series, at Woodbine on Sunday night.

Yavana‘s Pace bids for further Group One glory in the Deutsche Post Euro Express Preis von Europa in Cologne on Sunday.

Frankie Dettori could head to France instead of Newmarket next Thursday unless he can pick up quality mounts on a card featuring the Macau Jockey Club Craven Stakes, one of the main trials for the Sagitta 2,000 Guineas.
