Review TIPPERARY 1-JUN-2000 The Aidan O'Brien/Mick Kinane alliance had mixed fortunes at a well-attended Tipperary yesterday evening, with Manhattan maintaining his unbeaten record but short-priced juvenile Dietrich suffering a shock defeat.Manhattan made all in the Arthur Finnan Memorial EBF Race. Kinane quickened up on the home turn after setting a sedate pace but needed a strong drive to hold on by a head from Shibl, with Echo Island finishing best of all just a neck further adrift.'He's had a number of little setbacks, and will have a short break after a tough race in that ground (officially soft),' said O'Brien.The master of Ballydoyle blamed himself for the defeat of the Storm Cat filly Dietrich in the Limerick Junction EBF Maiden. 'She is very fast but I should not have run her on that ground,' he said. The $2m purchase looked sure to collect when stretching four lengths clear approaching the furlong pole. But she tired dramatically in the final 50 yards, and was headed in the final stride by the Austin Leahy-trained Mountain Greenery. Conor O'Dwyer, who returned this week after a month lay-off with a shoulder injury, was back in the winners enclosure after Feathered Leader justified odds-on support in the Sean Barrett Bloodstock Insurances Chase. 'He will go for a conditions chase at Killarney next month, and then the Galway Plate,' said trainer Arthur Moore.
