Joseph O'Brien brought up a quick double at Dundalk when King's Field landed the Book Your Christmas Party At Dundalk Handicap under his brother Donnacha.
Half-an-hour earlier Donnacha had finished second on the stable's Vhagar a race that went to Piltown representative Eagle Song under Shane Crosse.
Here King's Field, a Cork winner from nine days back, got the better of Admirality close home to triumph by a neck.
"He's genuine but he only does what he has to," said Donnacha O'Brien.
"He only really gets going when you get stuck into him but in fairness he did put his head out.
"You'd have to think he'd improve for a little bit of experience in a race like that. He's probably not used to going that pace in a race but he's done it well at the line."
