Dontspoilasale (17/2) took the Christmas Party Nights At Dundalk Stadium Handicap to complete a quick double for Ado McGuinness and Adam Caffrey.
The Kuroshio four-year-old, owned by Bart O'Sullivan, Mark Devlin, Nigel O'Hare and Philip Smith, had hitherto failed to add to a Naas nursery success but snapped a 24-race losing run when dictating a steady early pace and quickening well off it to readily beat former stablemate Dream Today by three and a quarter lengths.
McGuinness, whose first-race winner Dark Ace had also made all the running, commented: "All good! I was very happy with him.
"He finished well over five on his last run and he's probably more of a six (furlong horse) which was ideal.
"Adam was very good on him, we were drawn wide and he got him out and got him up there into a nice position.
"He worked well and he's probably dropped down a few pound.
"The job is done and the boys are happy.
"I was watching my daughter on the otherhorse (Aisling McGuinness, Clonmacash , so divided loyalties!"
