Feane & Ryan double-up with Anatoli Anatoli completed a quick-double for Johnny Feane and Gavin Ryan, as he battled to victory in the Bar One Racing Maiden. The winner of two barrier trials at Dundalk, the son of Aclaim was briefly available at 8/1 in early shows for this six-furlong contest, but that price was quickly gone. Eventually sent off the even money favourite, the bay victor raced keenly in mid-division, taking closer order from early in the straight. In front from the furlong pole, he had to be ridden inside the final furlong to hold off of the effort of the Fozzy Stack trained Redbud (16s early, returned 6/1) by a neck. New York City, who was the 1/2 favourite in early shows, finished half a length back in third at the odds of 7/4. Feane, who took the previous contest with Tresorier, said: "He was a bit keen and Gavin rode him relaxed into the straight. He pulled up in front when he got there and thought he'd enough done. "He has a lot of natural speed and they weren't going quick enough for him today. It takes a fair horse to lead him even at home. There is plenty of improvement in him." Gavin Ryan added: “He's won two barrier trials but in the barrier trials they seem to go slow early on and ride it more like a piece of work. "Today he was still very raw and I think he will definitely come on from that. He was keen and when I let him down I was actually surprised he was able to pick up and put the race to bed. "He'd a good look around inside the furlong and I think he’ll come on again from that." Additional reporting by Alan Magee
