COLIN Keane continued his march towards retaining the jockeys’ championship by riding a double at Dundalk on Friday evening. First up was the Adrian Murray-trained Leblon Beach in the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

Sent off 8/1, the Capital Thoroughbreds Syndicate-owned filly led over a furlong out, staying on to score by one and a half lengths. Keane later said: “She doesn’t look like a filly that has had three runs, so she has probably taken the three runs for the penny to drop. You couldn’t do anything but like her, the way she did it.
