Kitty another for red hot Slattery Andy Slattery’s fantastic run of form continued at Gowran Park tonight as Kitty Bear ran out a cosy winner of the Thomastown Handicap. Orla Tynan got a good tune from the 9/2 shot as she burst through to lead inside the final furlng. The Kodi Bear filly was soon in command as she went on to post a three length win over Majestic King. Kitty Bear was recording her second career win, having scored at Dundalk in January. "Orla was hitting the front too soon on her in her last few runs so I explained to her today to hold her up,” said Slattery. “The filly wasn't helping her by stopping out in front and running around the place, and probably should have won at Dundalk two starts ago. "She is versatile and is great for Orla, who is with me full-time and is a great worker. "The owners (Kerwins and Kehoes, relations from Laois and Tipperary) had a few horses who were out injured, so I told them to buy this one. She only cost the lads 2,000 euro and has now won twice."
