Colin Keane will be crowned champion-jockey for the fourth time when the 2022 Irish flat season ends at Naas on Sunday.
The Meath man clinched the title when guiding the Ger Lyons-trained, odds-on favourite Bucky Larson to a smooth success in yesterday’s Dundalk claimer, bringing his seasonal tally to 90, one ahead of arch-rival Billy Lee, whose season ended yesterday, hours after his appeal against a six-day whip ban, incurred at Dundalk on October 21, was dismissed in a hearing at the IHRB.
