Doyle & Hassett combine for another winner

Tim Doyle and Wayne Hassett teamed up for another winner when Kinda Tiny came from well off the pace to win the Barna Recycling Handicap. 

The 5/1 co-favourite was in mid-division on the home turn but picked up well when switched to the far rail a furlong out. She got a dream run through to lead inside the final 100 yards but drifted left when in front causing interference to several rivals. 

Kinda Tiny was three parts of a length in front of Clear Quartz passing the post. While there was no change to the judge's placings following a stewards' enquiry, the winning rider was handed an eight-day ban for careless riding.

It was a 14th winner, half of them partnered by 7lb claimer Hassett, of the Flat season for Doyle who trains the daughter of Cotai Glory for his wife Claire. 

"She has been placed and had been running well but was unlucky a few days," said the winning trainer.

"She was probably a bit green and was never in front before but is a smashing little filly.

"She's had enough now for the year, will have a break for the winter and hopefully will come back a stronger filly.

"Dinky Inty was her mother, who won around here, and if you mix up those letters you more-or-less get 'Kinda Tiny'. She also seems to handle this track so we'll aim for back here next summer."
