Fran Berry's domination of Dundalk continued again with another big-priced treble.

Fresh from a four-timer at last week's meeting, Berry booted home Qeyaada Daliyra and Dalkan at combined odds of 329-1.

Having scored in the last four races seven days earlier, by winning three of the first four it meant he had won seven out of eight consecutive races.

Daliyra and Dalkan are both trained by Mick Halford and owned by the Aga Khan, a notable feat for the handler.

Of Dalkan (5-1), who won the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden, Halford said: "He's very genuine and tough. When he went to get out he got closed off and his experience stood him in good stead.

"I imagine with time he'll get plenty further as he's stoutly bred."

Daliyra (9-1) was having only her second run in the fillies version of the maiden.

"She stuck at it well. I don't know whether we would run her again this season," said Halford.

"She's a filly there could be plenty of improvement in but I'd say we'll wait with her."

The victory of Jim Ryan's Qeyaada (9-2) was valuable as she is now set to head for the sales.

"She's entered in the December sales at Newmarket. This was probably the last race she could have got before that. Unfortunately there isn't a six furlong race of a similar calibre."

Berry was just denied another four-timer when If Per Chance was beaten a head by Mid Mon Lady (8-1) in the 10-furlong handicap.

It wouldn't be Dundalk on a Friday without the customary Ger Lyons winner and hopefully the victory of Palazzone (9-1) will give the trainer a boost as he is currently under the weather.

It was another ride of great maturity by Emmet McNamara in the Park Hotel Dundalk Race & Stay Package Handicap.

"Hopefully that's a tonic for the boss who is at home with the flu," said Shane Lyons, Ger's brother.

"We thought he had a bit to do with 10 stone on his back but he loves to be ridden that way and Emmet gave him a lovely ride."

Johnny Murtagh pulled one back on Pat Smullen in the race to be champion Jockey with the victory of Man Of
