Four-year-old Baila Conmigo (6/1) registered a first career success when landing Dundalk’s Floodlit Fridays At Dundalk Handicap for owner Cristiana Rodrigues, trainer Ciaran Murphy and jockey Ben Coen.

The son of Inns Of Court had finished fourth and then third in two January appearances and in today’s 14-runner race, improved from mid-division to eventually lead inside the final furlong before scoring by 1.75 lengths from Deluca Chop .

Murphy said "he was a little bit back in grade from the last day and he had two very solid runs recently. He's a work in progress, he's coming along now and seems to handle that surface well. He's improving away.

"We'll see what the handicapper does, and maybe come back for one more run here. He'll be a nice horse for the turf as he's a nice, big, strong horse, so he'll be grand.”
