Is the Irish jockeys' title race over? Lee loses appeal and Keane now into 1-10

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

Billy Lee was banned for six days for using his whip with excessive frequency. He is out of the final two Irish Flat fixtures of season. Lee is level with Colin Keane on 89 wins. Paddy Power is 11-2 to win the championship. Keane is 1-10 to add a fourth title. The last two games are at Dundalk on Wednesday and at Naas on Sunday. Keane has a better chance of winning the title than Lee. It's 1/10 for Keane to have a winner on the last day before the ban. 1.3/2 for Lee to do that.
