For Moynalty man McDonogh it was a third winner in two days after he was also on the mark at Tipperary yesterday for trainer Kieran Cotter.

Today at Dundalk McDonogh scored with favourite Belmont Avenue in a maiden for trainer Joseph O'Brien.

McDonogh doubled up when winning for Denise Foster and Team Cullentra with 33/1 chance The Abbey which got the better of the Shane Crawly-trained Danehill Quest by a neck.

Bohermeen man Johnny Murtagh trained the winner of the opening race on the card.
