Pat Smullen completed a 53/1 Dundalk treble when Our Manekineko took the closing Follow Dundalk Stadium On Twitter Handicap.

James Nash 's charge was ridden to close a furlong and a half out. He challenged under a furlong out, leading in the last hundred yards, keeping on well to beat Tansanite two and a quarter lengths.

"He was a bit unlucky the last day but at least it showed that he was coming back to himself and it seems he has improved again," said Nash.

"It's great to get another win out of him after so long (last won in April 2014), and he'll come back here for something as he doesn't seem to handle the grass."

Smullen's earlier winners were Sir Raston (Dermot Weld) and Carried (Prunella Dobbs).
