Stop On Red (9/2 into 7/2 favourite) landed the concluding Hollywoodbets Racing & Sports Betting Handicap for Jimmy Coogan and Chris Hayes.
Reversing form from here at Dundalk with Ablah from a fortnight back, when they finished fourth and fifth respectively behind Betrayed, the market-leader this time triumphed by a length and three parts from Chummie
The aforementioned Ablah stayed on well from the back for third, a head behind.
“He's a grand little horse and he's improving all the time,” said Coogan.
“I think he'll even be better going a mile. I'm very happy with him.
“I expected him to win today and we had a quiet few pounds on him!
“Six furlongs was too quick for him the last day. He wants every yard of seven and we might go a mile the next day.
“There is a race in a fortnight's time over a mile here. Depending on what the handicapper gives him he might come back for that.”
