Barry confidently boots home a pair of course specialists Shay Barry cut a fair dash on the opening evening of the Tramore Festival to land a double, scoring all-the-way wins on a couple of previous course winners, Turtle Gale adding to the gains of Without The Bop half-an-hour earlier in the O’Neill's Bar Handicap Steeplechase. Turtle Gale (5s into 4s), a hunter chase winner here back in April, looked sure to be swallowed two out but he found extra reserves of stamina to see off the staying-on Galway Legend by two and a half lengths. Pat O'Connor trains the winner for the unrelated breeder Thomas O'Connor and he said: "He likes Tramore. He wants good ground and I probably shouldn't have run him at Killarney as the ground was gone on him. He is in again on Sunday."
