Queen Of Seduction kept on best inside the last two furlongs to take the concluding Racing Again November 11th Handicap at Gowran Park.
In doing so, the four-year-old was giving her trainer Jessica Harrington a quick double, having also landed the previous contest.
Young apprentice Keithen Kennedy was riding the second winner of his career, having opened his account on Glamorously at Navan earlier this month.
Leading over two furlongs out, the 16/1 chance powered clear on the heavy ground to win by seven lengths.
Kate Harrington said:- “That was great, she did it very nicely. It's great for young Keithen as well.
“She was good when winning in Roscommon during the year and she relished those conditions out there.
“He's given her a beautiful ride, he's jumped in behind the leaders and he's done nothing wrong. He's great value for his 10lb.
“He has ridden out for us for the last three summers. He was meant to get the apprentice course and it kept getting pushed out all summer, it was driving me mad but he eventually got it in August.
“He's a real good kid and has a lovely pair of hands on him, I'm delighted for him.”
