On a fiercely competitive midweek card in Dundalk, where the greatest winning distance on the eight-race programme was half a length, trainer Eddie Lynam came out on the right side three times with accumulated odds of 246.5-1.
Three jockeys helped to complete the treble, the first being Chris Hayes, who guided Gobi Star to an all-weather debut success in the Christmas Party Nights At Dundalk Stadium Claimer. A winner on the turf in late September, the four-year-old was delivered with a well-timed run to double his career tally.
