A first winner over jumps for Jake Coen as the Denise Foster-trained Petit Dejeuner clear the final hurdle to win at Limerick. Patrick McCannJake Coen landed his first winner over jumps as the Denise Foster-trained Petit Dejeuner took the two-mile handicap hurdle at Limerick on Tuesday.
Coen rode 45 winners as an apprentice on the Flat and got off the mark over hurdles when partnering the Untouchables Syndicate-owned 20/1 chance to a four-length win over the Eoin McCarthy-trained New Barn Lane.
Fozzy Stack took the six-furlong maiden for three-year-olds at Dundalk on Wednesday with the Colin Keane-ridden Never Cry Never. In the colours of David Keoghan and Casey McLiney, the 9/2 chance led early in the straight and had plenty in hand in beating the Edward Lynam-trained odds-on favourite Cross Border by two and three-parts of a length.
Harry Swan wrapped up another huge day for trainer Gordon Elliott when winning the bumper on The Enabler at Punchestown on Sunday.
Elliott had earlier completed a Jack Kennedy-ridden treble with Mighty Bandit, Favori De Champdou and Yeats Star and Swan stepped in to give the Cullentra trainer his fourth of the day in the finale. Sent off odds-on favourite, the Gigginstown House Stud-owned four-year-old led after four furlongs and was clear early in the straight to win by six and a half lengths from Gavin Cromwell’s I Am Mimi.
