Apprentice jockey Sam Coen had his claim reduced to 5lb with the success of Drucker (4/1) in Dundalk’s concluding Find Us On Facebook @dundalkstadium Handicap today, having won for trainer Andy Slattery and owner Pat Garvey.

A runner-up when ridden by the rider’s cousin Ben Coen at today’s venue in November, the four-year-old gelding today raced behind the leaders before quickening to lead inside the final furlong to defeat Satono Chevalier by 4.25 lengths.

Coen commented "he was good and switched off well, as the last day he just did it a little bit over the limit. He had a little wind op and I think that could be after setting him right.

"We went even the whole way, he settled like a dream and switched off well. I couldn't be happier, he won well and I'm on to my 5lb claim, which should be a big help (weight-wise)."
