Champion jockey for the second time, Colin Keane reached the milestone of 100 winners for the season when landing the Curragh finale on Pretty Boy Floyd before jetting off this morning to America where he’ll ride Siskin in the Breeders’ Cup Mile in Keeneland on Saturday.

Keane acknowledged: “This is a great way to finish the season. To be champion jockey once is what you dream about growing. To win it a second time is phenomenal, after such a great tussle with my good friend Shane Foley. We’re both heading for the States in the morning.”
