Tipp Kilkenny Slattery Tynan combination a winning team

Famed tenor Dr Ronan Tynan saw his colours carried to another success when Whosgotyanow made a winning debut for the Andy Slattery yard in the Tom McCormack Memorial Cup Mares Maiden Hurdle at Kilbeggan.

Slattery has been doing well with Pineapple Express for Tynan, and ex-Henry de Bromhead inmate Whosgotyanow did this nicely from the front in the hands of Cathal Landers.

At the finish the Getaway mare had five lengths and a nose to spare over Belles Benefit and Hophornbeam

Slattery’s brother and assistant trainer Willie said: “Her run in Fairyhouse left her a certainty here.

“To be honest she doesn’t kill herself at home. During the winter we would take her away for a piece of work on grass but on the all-weather she doesn’t show a lot.

“That’s gorgeous ground and she struggled on heavy ground in a bumper at Gowran. We’ll try and find a winners-of-one for her.”
