Wayne Hassett was one of several jockeys who travelled south to Tramore after riding at the Curragh in the afternoon and the in-form apprentice was rewarded when Charlie Darling (13/2) took the concluding Dan Cowman Handicap.
Hassett, who had been on target at headquarters when scoring on Tim Doyle's Goldmoyne produced Gavin Cromwell's four-year-old from off the pace to lead inside the final furlong and the gelded son of Ultra defeated Tannery Park by a length and three-quarters.
Cromwell, who trains the chesnut for Dermot Murray, was completing an across-the-cards double of his own after Sixandahalf landed a valuable fillies' handicap at Newmarket in the hands of Robert Whearty.
Hassett said: "That was my first ride at Tramore and my first time to ride this horse.
"The instructions were to sit in behind the leaders but they went so quick and he was just a little bit off the bridle, minding himself. I gave him a little breather and then the boys in front of me were kind of dying off.
"I came on the wide outside and he picked up lovely. He loved the trip and I think the track sharpened him up. He done it well."
