Willie and Patrick Mullins doubled their score at Downpatrick when newcomer Exchange Rate proved up to the task in the small field Two N & M's INH Flat Race.
A son of Monsun owned by Jackie Mullins, Exchange Rate had much to recommend him on paper and inside the last he found enough to fend off favourite Anytime Now by three parts of a length.
The winning rider said: "It's been a great day. He's a horse we bought from Germany and he has a very good Flat pedigree. He's not very big but he has plenty of ability. He was very green there and I think there is probably more to come from him.
"I thought I was going to win on the bridle but once he has hit the front he has idled.
"He's for sale. He could go for a winners' bumper or a maiden hurdle and I think he'll pay his way."
