Slattery scores with ex-O'Grady trained filly Andy Slattery trained his first winner for owner Olivia Hoare today, doing so in a poignant success with the ex-Edward O’Grady-trained Queen Aethelflaed (11/1) in Thurles’ BoyleSports Supporting Irish Racing Handicap. The daughter of Saxon Warrior today debuted in handicaps for trainer Slattery and, under jockey Joey Sheridan, raced prominently before scoring by a neck from Mythical Rock . Late trainer O’Grady had given Slattery senior his first job, who today stated “that hadn’t a lot to do with me as this was Edward’s (O’Grady, recently deceased) horse so his lads had been doing the work. “I didn’t know much about her but she is a nice filly and this is Mrs Hoare’s first horse with me. “She is a well-bred filly, I think she will run again this season and we could step her up to 1m2f.”
