Trainer Mark Fahey brought two horses to Dundalk's rescheduled fixture on Monday and came away with a double which was completed by Daonethatgotaway (7/2) in the one-mile handicap for four-year-olds and upwards.

A course and distance winner on his previous start in December, the Tamayuz gelding tracked the leaders under Keithen Kennedy before hitting the front a furlong out to beat Harry The Rogue by half a length.

Fahey said of the Up The Blues Syndicate's winner: "There was 30 of the syndicate meant to come here on Friday night, but it was cancelled. 

"There's a good crew of them at home and Ithink they are all going to the local pub, Mooney's of Monasterevin.

"They're a great bunch of lads and they are getting a great kick out of the horse. 

"Where we go next, we don't know - we might give him a little break or we might come back up here, I'm not sure. 

"It was mighty and delighted for the lads."

Fahey's earlier winner was the subsequently claimed Guest Star in the second race on the card.
