Dream Today landed a quick double for Ado McGuinness, Cian MacRedmond and owners Shamrock Thoroughbreds when wearing down front-runner Little Queenie in the six-furlong handicap at Dundalk.
The grey filly was soon in front and had most of her rivals at work early in the straight.
Dream Today travelled well though for MacRedmond and was driven up to challenge a furlong from home.
The 4/1 shot had to work to get the better of his rival and just edged ahead in the closing stages for a half-length success.
MacRedmond had carried the same colours on Harry's Bar in the preceding race.
McGuinness said: "Cian has played a massive part in our stable the last two years since he came back from England. He would have ridden A Case Of You every single day of his life when he was in our place. It was a big factor to him as well.
"They (MacRedmond and Adam Caffrey) are two very important lads in my place and my place wouldn't function without them. They ride all the work and they are very good lads.
"Adam is away on holidays, I sent him on a holiday!
"Cian is a very good kid. He was away before Christmas in America and it did him the power of good. He was out riding work in America and it was a big help to him. He drives up from Kildare every morning through the traffic and the same again in the evening. It is hard work, but it is paying off for him and that is the main thing.
"He's a high-class horse, he dropped a couple of pounds from the last day and a couple of the others that were in front of him in the betting had gone up. We had a good weight swing, but what we did need was a very fast pace and we got it."
