Colin Keane lands first Irish Derby with wide-margin winner Westover

Colin Keane rode Westover to a seven-length victory in Saturday's Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh. The Ralph Beckett trained colt was an unlucky third to Desert Crown at Epsom three weeks ago. Keane had previously won a 2,000 Guineas and Oaks at Curraagh and has two of his 100 career career winners at that track. Frankie Dettori won on his only mount at Newmarket. John Gosden had put Frankie on a sabbatical the day before. He is determined to continue riding at least for this season and next. John and Frankie are good friends.
