Landmark 404/1 treble for Tyner & Enright Robert Tyner’s yard is in red-hot form at present and the Kinsale trainer crowned a golden spell with a first ever treble under rules as Kandinski, also completing a first treble for rider Philip Enright, finally came good in the Slievenamon Beginners Chase. Tyner and Enright were successful earlier on the card with Who Let De Dogsout (8/1) and Tooreen (8/1), and the success of 4/1 chance Kandinski brought up a memorable 404/1 treble for the pair. Winner of a point-to-point at Knockanard three years ago, the gelding has proved a very frustrating sort since under rules finishing runner-up seven times. The departure of Kilcarry Bridge at the second fence left Kandinski in front from an early stage and he proceeded to put in a fine round of jumping under Philip Enright, who was also recording his first treble. The eight-year-old stretched right away from his rivals after two out with just the loose horse for company, and had 17 lengths to spare over Turica at the line. Stoney was just a short-head further adrift in third. Tyner said, “The way my horses have been running, if this fella didn’t win today he was never going to win. We were going to sit second or third but our minds were made up for us (leader fell at the second fence). Once Philip gave him an inch of rein going up the back he went clear, and he gave him a breather coming down the hill. “He’s been very unlucky and it’s been a very frustrating year. He got brought down at the first the last day and before that he went lame in the saddling enclosure at Tramore. A lot of the beginners chases are so hot and I’ve been waiting for one of these 109 (hurdle rating) races for a while. “I don’t know what we are going to do next but we could go back over hurdles.” A delighted Enright said, “They have all been fairly straight forward and I’m delighted to ride my first treble for Robert. He’s always been very good to me, and without him and Mary (trainer’s wife) I wouldn’t be here today.” Additional reporting by Thomas Weekes
