Shifted Strategy made it lucky number thirteen when opening his account with a hard fought success in the Byrne Family Handicap at Listowel.
Fozzy Stack's charge was sent to post a easy-to-back 16/1 shot having been well held on his latest outing in maiden company at Roscommon.
He was prominent throughout today, under Killian Hennesssy, and was driven up to dispute turning for home.
The Choisir gelding edged ahead passing the furlong pole and stuck on well in the closing stages to record a half length success over Dharma Rain
Stack said afterwards:- “Killian gave him a great ride. He did very well to get him across from 15 and onto the fresh ground. It’s important to be up there as nothing seems to be coming from behind.
“The horse deserved to win a race as he’d been knocking on the door for a while.”
