Colin Keane all but confirmed victory in the jockeys' title race as he added a treble at Dundalk, including victory in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden on Overcoming

Ger Lyons' 4-1 chance picked up nicely for Keane on the outside, overhauling Loving A Boom in the final furlong and going on to win by half a length.

Keane used completely different tactics to get Bid Adieu home in the www.dundalkstadium.com Maiden.

Tom Cooper's 12-1 chance held a clear lead early on and kept up a remorseless gallop, eventually coming home a length and a quarter to the good over Clear Skies

Perhaps fittingly, Keane's treble was completed as he overhauled title rival Pat Smullen to land division two of the Crowne Plaza Hotel Dundalk Handicap on Ben Rumson (2-1 favourite).

Tom McCourt's charge was too strong for Smullen aboard High Kicker breezing past his rival close home and putting Keane 10 clear of his rival.

Smullen suffered a pair of agonising near-misses, as his mount Tonkinese was just held off by Sheila Lavery's Secret Witness (25-1) under Rory Cleary in the Book Your Christmas Party At Dundalk Handicap, while Settle For Bay (15-2) denied Smullen and Cloudy Miss by the narrowest of margins in the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap for David Marnane and Donagh O'Connor.< Shinko Princess battled bravely to get the better of a duel with Peace Officer to land the Floodlit Friday Nights At Dundalk Maiden.

The pair pulled clear of the rest over a furlong out and it was Christy McDonogh's 5-4 favourite who had the edge close home, beating Smullen aboard Peace Officer by a length under Declan McDonogh.

An enterprising ride from Alan Glynn helped Burren View Lady to victory in the Christmas Party Nights At Dundalk Stadium Apprentice Handicap.

The Denis Hogan-trained 16-1 chance joined An Saighdiur in pulling well clear early on, and while the latter faltered and was swallowed up by the pack, Burren View Lady stuck to her guns to win by three-quarters of a length from Timia
