Crowned champion-jockey for the third time, Colin Keane crowned a remarkable, record-breaking season with a 152/1 final-day double on Yaxeni and Team Of Firsts for his boss and greatest supporter Ger Lyons in Naas.

Having broken Joseph O’Brien’s record of 126 winners for a domestic season on Power Under Me at the Curragh on October 10, it was just a case of how high Keane would push the bar as he strove to set a new record and Sunday’s brace brought his seasonal tally in Ireland, to an amazing 141.
