Irish apprentice title race ramping up with three-way battle set to go to the wire at the Curragh
The three-way race to be crowned champion apprentice jockey is set for a rousing conclusion at the Curragh on November 3 with James Ryan and Wayne Hassett leading the table on 30 winners, one ahead of Adam Caffrey.
Caffrey went clear by two when Eddie G scored at Dundalk on October 11, but Ryan and Hassett have been busy since, riding three winners apiece.
