Dylan Browne McMonagle leads the Irish Flat Racing Champion Jockey standings
Dylan Browne McMonagle has taken the lead in the Irish Flat Jockeys' Championship after bagging a treble at the weekend.
The Letterkenny man has overtaken the winner of the last five years, Colin Keane.
Keane is currently on 50 wins, but is currently serving a two-week ban for exceeding the whip strike limit at Sandown earlier this month.
Browne McMonagle's hat-trick of wins at Gowran Park on Saturday, along with a brace at Cork and Leopardstown last week, has now pushed him on to 52 wins and top of the standings.

The Donegal jockey was in action at day one of the Galway Festival yesterday, placing second and third in two of his three rides.
He is in action again later this week, including two rides on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively.
