Thomas J.
"Tom" Barry (July 27, 1907 – March, 1987) was a trainer of Thoroughbred racehorse who won two American Classic Races with foreign-bred horses.
Born in Ireland, as a young man he emigrated to the United States where he became a citizen around 1930. In 1951 Tom Barry won the training title at Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport, New Jersey which marked the beginning of a decade in which he enjoyed considerable racing success.
In 1952, Barry began the race conditioning of a colt named Errard King for owner Joseph Gavegnano.
Under regular jockey Sam Boulmetis, Sr., in 1953 the two-year-old Errard King won the Tyro Stakes and the Laurel Futurity Stakes and the following year captured two very important races, the American Derby and Arlington Classic.
