The Dancing Lord became the third winning favourite in as many races at Dundalk, as he got up to touch off Beau Satchel (well-backed against the 'jolly') by half a length in the www.dundalkstadium.com Rated Race.

Robbie Downey had to extricate David Phelan and John Geoghegan's great servant, from traffic problems, switching right from over a furlong out.

As ever the Imperial Dancer gelding wasn't found wanting when asked to go and get the job done, and the even money chance got up close home.

"He's unbelievable. That's his sixth win in a year since I got him," enthused Geoghegan.

"There's nothing else for him here now so we'll give him a break. He'll be out in the field and we'll give him a month or six weeks off.

"He needs quick ground so there's no point in running him early in the turf season.

"He owes us nothing now and has been a revelation." (AM & EM)
