Colin Keane celebrated winning his second Irish jockeys’ championship when guiding Tarnawa to victory in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf. Keane was replacing the luckless Christophe Soumillon, who also missed a winning ride on Order Of Australia in the Breeders’ Cup Mile. It was his first ride for veteran trainer Dermot Weld, who was also enjoying his first Breeders’ Cup success. Tarnawa could have gone for the Filly And Mare Turd but connections choose this stiffer task for the three-year-old who had won the Prix Vermeille and Prix L’Opera on her last two starts for her owner Tarnawa. Keane had her at the back of the field as Channel Maker and United set the pace with Magical in a handy position not far off the lead. Channel Maker set sail for home at the top of the straight but the pack closed in a furlong out with Keane producing Tarnawa with a perfectly-timed run that saw her keep Magical at bay by a length. Channel Maker was another length away in third.
