Co Cork trainer David Barry registered a first flat winner today, as his three-year-old Turn Up The Beat scored a 25/1 success in Naas' Kildare Chamber Handicap, under Wayne Hassett.
Carrying just 8st4lbs, the Outstrip-gelding arrived from rear-division to lead inside the final furlong, holding runner-up Ginormous by a half-length, with slowest-starting but fastest-finisher Amrican In Paris filling third.
Rathcormac-based Barry had previously trained four national hunt winners and today his brother Ronan Barry said “we thought a bit of him as a two-year-old, he was very fast but he didn't stay. Pat Murphy had him in the past and he did a great job with him.
“We're national hunt people, we've been lobbing away with him on deep sand at home and I think it has stood to him, as he toughed it out. I thought he might need the run to sharpen him, but he's a grand horse and I'm not shocked he has won.
“I thought for his first run over five (furlongs) he was good.”
