Colin Keane moves seven clear in race to become champion jockey

On a Dundalk card on which punters had a dream start, with three consecutive winners justifying heavy support, Colin Keane took two significant steps closer to becoming champion jockey for the first time, and the impeccably-bred Alexander Gordon extended her unbeaten record to three with success in the feature.

Keane was out of luck aboard a fancied runner in the opener, but was off the mark for the evening little more than half an hour later when guiding Art Of Unity to victory in the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Nursery.

Backed from a high of 15-2, to a starting price of 11-4, he came late and fast down the far side to win with something in hand.
