The consistent Ishebayorgrey notched his fourth win of the season with a gutsy success in the Marshes Best Dressed Lady Handicap at Dundalk.
Pat Martin 's charge had a great tussle with Chaplin Bay inside the final furlong and the two flashed past the post together.
Colin Keane just had the 7/4 favourite's head in front at the post to secure a short-head success.
"He's ultra gutsy. Colin and him are a great team. I love the way he gave him a chance to get the trip as seven is probably stretching him," said Martin.
"He was happy throughout the race but it got very tight at the end. He's resolute and battles to win. He's a lucky horse and has a lucky own too."
Martin was full of praise for the winning rider:- "He has a marvellous temperament and nothing seems to faze him. He's the same lad he was three years ago.
"He has a knack of making horses run well and knows where the winning post is."
