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.
