Keane continues to pursue O'Brien in title race

To use football terminology there was a 1-1 draw at Dundalk last night between Colin Keane (102) and Donnacha O'Brien (106) as each partnered a winner in the race for the title.

Title-chasing Colin Keane got off to a flyer with victory on the Ger Lyons-trained Scream in the fillies' claimer to cut the deficit to three.

O'Brien restored his advantage of four with victory on 5/4 favourite Thames River, trained by his brother Joseph.

The gap between the jockeys' in the title-race  remains at four (106 - 102) heading into today's action at Leopardstown.

Keane has six rides today at Leopardstown while O'Brien was scheduled for Doncaster but that was abandoned.

The final day of the season will be at Naas on Sunday 3rd November and as of now, there are five  meetings remaining in the 2019 Irish Flat season:

Leopardstown - Saturday October 26
Galway - Monday October 28 
Dundalk - Wednesday October 30
Dundalk -  Friday November 1
Naas - Sunday November 3
