The Hayes brothers, Paddy and Chris, teamed up to take division two of the Holden Plant Rentals Handicap at Gowran Park with Gatsby Cap
The five-year-old gelding won twice for Fozzy Stack and has now doubled her career tally since joining Paddy Hayes last autumn.
The 12/1 chance led on the far rail early in the straight and stretched clear over a furlong out to beat Is Fantastic by a length and three quarters.
Gregory’s Gift was a half-length back in third with Airgead completing the places in fourth.
Chris Hayes said, “We bought him out of Fozzy’s with the intention of running him in Dundalk. We had plenty of hold ups and Paddy has done a good job with him.
“After he won (at Dundalk) we thought he’d go on and win a few more. He got cast in the box then he finished fourth but got a bit sick of the surface. We freshened him up and I thought he ran quite well in Leopardstown from a terrible draw.
“We put the cheek pieces back on and today was the first time he had a good draw for us. Hopefully he’s still in that grade and, if he is, he can win another one.
“He got himself all hot and bothered before the race, why I don’t know. A couple of the syndicate members got to come today. It’s their first time being involved in a horse and they have got a great buzz out of it.”
