After his hat-trick on the polytrack last Friday night, Fran Berry returned to Dundalk to triumph in race one, guiding Andy Oliver's favourite, Paytheprice (5/2) to an all-the-way success in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.
On outing number five and back to five furlongs, Paytheprice made all, Berry asked for more from the daughter of Lawman from under two furlongs out, and the juvenile kept on well inside the final furlong to oblige by a length and a quarter from Sweetie Jar
"It's great to get that done with her for a good patron (John Gildea) who is a very enthusiastic owner," said Oliver.
"He owned a good filly a few years ago, Sendmylovetorose, so the colours are well used to the podium.
"She showed a bit on her last couple of runs. We brought her back in trip and she did the job well. I'm delighted with her."
