Chris Hayes stretched his clear lead in the apprentice championship by partnering a 48.5/1 double aboard Dalwich and Sina Cova at the opening session of the five-day Tralee Festival.
The teenage sensation was seen to good effect as Dalwich defied a 5lb penalty for scoring at Bellewstown last week, driven to the front inside the final furlong to beat Langkawi Bay by 2L in the mile handicap.
The successful filly is entered here again later this week but trainer Tom McCourt believes 'she is due a break'.
Hayes moved onto the 30 winner mark, six ahead of Rory Cleary who is currently sidelined due to concussion at Tramore earlier this month, when getting the better of Kieren Fallon in the fillies maiden.
The 11/8 favourite Briolette and Hayes' mount Sina Cova fought out an exciting finish with the latter just forging ahead in the final strides to score by half a length.
Fallon was successful earlier when Alexandrova, available at 13/8 in the morning and sent off the 8/15 fav, justified strong support on her third start in the 2yo fillies mile maiden.
The daughter of Sadler's Wells settled the issue by quickening to the front at the home bend, and galloped on strongly in the straight to beat Nautical Design by ten lengths.
This race was won three years ago by Irish Oaks heroine Vintage Tipple and Ladbrokes give the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly a 33/1 quote for the 2006 Vodafone Oaks.
Liam McAteer and Valdir de Souza teamed up to take the Eddie Barrett Bookmaker-sponsored sprint handicap with Point Calimere, prominent throughout and holding the slow starting Serov by 1L.
De Souza performed what is becoming his customary flying dismount, which went a bit pear-shaped as he landed on his rear end, and the gelding may run again at Fairyhouse on Sunday.
The Brandon Hotel Handicap Hurdle was the feature race of the afternoon, and Monte Solaro rallied gamely on the run-in under Kevin Coleman to prevail by 1/2L over Blue Corrig.
'That means a lot to win a Grade C race with a mare, and I'm sorry that we didn't ride her handier at Naas the last day,' said Francis Flood junior.
Ruby Walsh took a heavy fall from Zeroberto before halfway, and was stood down for the remainder of the day.
Barry Geraghty replaced him in the handicap chase on Rocking Annie, who looked set to win until Blitzy Boy came through with a strong run approaching the last to score by four lengths.
The Davy Condon-ridden 12/1 chance contributed to the jackpot pool of 9,447 being carried forward to tomorrow, while there is also a placepot pool rollover of 1,479.
Punters got it right in the finale as Gortinard (6/4-5/4f) led after three out for Davy Russell to comfortably beat Church Island with Four Aces in third.
