Dundalk report: Colin Keane clinches champion jockey title

Colin Keane clinches the title of champion jockey for the fourth time. Billy Lee's season ended yesterday after his appeal against a six-day whip ban was dismissed.

Queen Maedbh, runner-up in a Leopardstown maiden on her only previous start, coasted to a smooth success under Mikey Sheehy in her first run here for Joseph O’Brien.
