Feast and Anna McGuinness© Photo Healy Racing
There was a boilover in the last at Downpatrick as 150/1 outsider of the party Feast stormed home from off the pace to land the Cosy Roof INH Flat Race.
Fathom One had looked set for victory when sweeping to the front off the final bend but was joined on the line by the winner who prevailed by a nose.
Formerly with Fergal O'Brien, the Walk In The Park gelding was picked up for £6,000 by trainer James Lambe last year and runs in the colours of Richard Behan.
It was a first winner for 7lb claimer Anna McGuinness who said: "Gees he travelled well, James gave me a lot of confidence going out and said he would run well.
"He was strong up the hill and I just listened to his instructions.
"No, I wasn't sure actually that he got up, I was looking over but I got up in the end and that is all that matters.
"It was unreal (when the result was called), I'd have been raging now if I had got beaten!
"I'm from Coalisland and started out with James and he has been getting me going and getting me the opportunities. I'm just delighted to finally get the winner today.
"I come from a non-racing background, no-one in my family is into horses so I just started out.
"Nothing planned yet (celebrations) as working tomorrow, I ride out for different yards up here. Of course! (available for more rides)."
