Sean Corby gave Togoville a fine ride to make all in the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap, the feature race at Dundalk on Sunday.
The 5lb claimer bounced the Georgios Pakidis-trained five-year-old out in front and, on his first try at five furlongs, never looked like being caught.
The 5-1 chance stayed on well to record his fifth victory at the track by one and a half lengths from Kasbah with 11-4 favourite Ardhoomey back in third.< General Macarthur got off the mark at the second attempt in the www.dundalkstadium.com Maiden.
Aidan O'Brien's beautifully-bred colt was a disappointing fifth on his debut at Leopardstown and was sent off an 11-4 chance as he dropped in trip for this seven-furlong contest.
Joseph O'Brien's mount took it up two furlongs out and kept on well to hold the challenge of Dermot Weld newcomer A Likely Story by half a length.< Strait Of Zanzibar bounced back to form as he sprang a 16-1 surprise in the Follow Us On Twitter Rated Race.< Maontri blazed a trail early doors but was swamped inside the final furlong and it was Kevin Condon charge that stayed on best of all to record a half-length verdict over Great Wide Open
There was an even bigger shock in the Dundalk Stadium Apprentice Maiden as 50-1 shot Cape Discovery got up late to deny Zuberi by three-quarters of a length.< Sassaway (14-1) recorded her first all-weather success in the opening Crowne Plaza Hotel Handicap.
A four-time winner on turf, Eamonn O'Connell's charge stole a march on her rivals two furlongs out and opened up a big enough advantage to hold the fast-finishing Anonymous Lady by a neck.< Kodiac's Back (9-4fav) produced a game front-running display as he thwarted the late challenge of Pretty Famous to score by a head in division one of the Friday Horse Racing Returns 25th September Handicap, while the second instalment saw Coach Bombay (6-1) deny Artistic Integrity by half a length.
The closing Crowne Plaza Race & Stay Handicap produced a thrilling three-way finish as Eye Of The Tiger (7-1) edged out Magnetic Force
