Geraghty crowned champion jump jockey in US

Ross Geraghty has been crowned champion jump jockey in America in just his third season there.

The rider’s total of just 17 wins may not sound a lot — but in a country where jump racing is limited, it was enough to see him come out on top by three from his nearest rival Darren Nagle as the curtain came down at Springdale racecourse in Camden, South Carolina.

Geraghty, 35, the older brother of top jump jockey Barry, enjoyed his biggest success on The Bunny Boiler in the 2002 Irish Grand National.
