Say It So came from last to first to take the two-mile handicap at Dundalk and land his hat-trick.
The Eric McNamara-trained gelding had won over hurdles at Killarney early last month before following up back on the Flat at Navan 17 days later.
He missed the kick in today's contest but was produced on the stand's rail to challenge passing the furlong pole, by the trainer's son Conor.
The Raven's Pass gelding got on top inside the final furlong to record a three-parts-of-a-length win over Noble Expression
It was a fourth career victory for Say It So, who had also won over timber at Cork in early August.
Conor McNamara said: "I think there will definitely be more going forward in him, maybe next summer.
"He's a grand horse, a horse in a real good vein of form.
"He likes to be ridden a bit wide and I kind of know him and that's the only reason I rode him. I don't know enough about the Flat really to be riding on it!
"He won well, got a lovely run round and I was able to creep a bit closer the whole way. Tony Martin's horse (Movie King) snuck up and every time he snuck up, I snuck up behind him and got a lovely run into it.
"I got there a fraction too soon but, even still, he is a horse you have to kind of keep going when you are going.
"He did it comfortably and I'd imagine that would be him for the year, and we will look forward to next year with him.
"He starts slowly whether it is Flat or National Hunt, and he likes to come wide and likes his own room."
