In-form pair Conor O'Dwyer and Tom Madden combined to land the Crossmaglen Rangers GFC Fillies Claiming Race at Dundalk with Pulsating
This Dragon Pulse filly formed part of a three-timer for Madden over the course and distance a week back.
Here the 3/1 shot upstaged Kindly (4/1) and gambled on favourite Bay Of Skaill (9/2 into 2/1) by three parts of a length and a neck.
"It suited her as they went nice and hard. I was able to relax and travel well into it," said Madden.
"She's game and she toughs it out well. I followed Kindly the whole way into the straight and she caught us for toe early on but this one just ground it out at the death.
"Hopefully she isn't claimed and I keep the ride on her. She's a grand thing and if she gets claimed or not she's going to have a bright future.
"Conor's horses are flying and it's great to get the ride on such a nice horse." Lady Godiva (8th) was claimed by Martin Hughes to be trained by Lee Smyth and Pulsating was claimed by Peter Michael to be trained by Gavin Cromwell.
