Course winner Back To Bavaria gave 17 year old jockey David Condon his first winner on the course when scoring in the Ulster Cesarewitch.
Condon who is attached to Willie Mullins stable is in tremendous form at present and he gave Back To Bavaria a sympathetic ride before bursting onto the scene in the final furlong to win from the fast finishing Dariole.
I told David to hold him up for as long as possible and come with a late run, "said trainer Ger Keane. He did everything right and I am delighted. "I took over Back To Bavaria from John Bowles last November and this is the first time he has run for me. It was appropriate that it should be Downpatrick, for she has a good record here and was second at the May meeting."
Keane added that Back To Bavaria needed the firm ground and had been confident she would run well.
