Racing: Flat finale for Barons

DAVID BARONS, the veteran jumps trainer who retires on Saturday week, sent out his first Flat winner for almost two decades in Northern Bailiwick at Leicester yesterday. Barons's career spans 32 years, but the last time he won a race on the level was in the mid-Seventies. 'I have had any amount of Flat winners, including Kelanne who won six times in one season,' Barons said. Northern Bailiwick may turn out again at Epsom next week when the stable's final runner will be Last Match at Stratford on the last day of the jumps campaign.
