Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh enjoyed a treble at Wexford, culminating in Vroum Vroum Mag s impressive Irish debut in the Kerlogue Mares Beginners Chase.
Always near the leaders, the 8-11 favourite had a clear lead after the second last despite Walsh appearing motionless.
Walsh barely moved a muscle up the home straight, too, coming home nine lengths clear of Emily Gray
The double came up when Measureofmydreams took the Slaney Maiden Hurdle.
Always to the fore, the 2-9 favourite took over from the pacesetting I Knew Well when that rival made a mistake at the last, and was driven home by Walsh to beat the front runner by six and a half lengths.< Aminabad put in a solid display to open his hurdling account at the first time of asking in the Supporters Club AGM Maiden Hurdle.
The even-money favourite travelled sweetly for Walsh, before hitting the front at the last.< Domesday Book made sure it was a test up the home straight, but Aminabad was too strong, scoring by a length and a quarter.< Mrs Mac Veale (5-1) put her stamina to good use when landing the two-mile Join The Supporters Club Mares Hurdle.
A winner over further two starts ago, she had Solita in close attendance at the last, but found plenty for Andrew McNamara to score by four lengths.< Halls Bridge showed the benefit of the switch to handicap company to land the Selskar Handicap Chase.
Shane Ryder's 11-1 chance kept on well under Robbie Moran to fend off the withering late charge of favourite Tailors Hill by a length and a quarter.
Oliver McKiernan's 5-1 chance Follow The Sign ran on well to land the Loch Garman Handicap Hurdle under Shane Crimin.< Boxer Georg (5-2) took advantage of Loch Dara s final-fence fall to land the Rosslare Hunters Chase under Patrick Mullins.
