Orla Tynan

Her most regular partnership is with trainer Andrew Slattery, and while their combined record of 2 wins from 21 rides together tells you it is a working relationship still being built, the volume of rides itself speaks to a real trust between them. Getting on 21 horses for the same yard inside your first year is not nothing — it means someone believes in you enough to keep putting you up.

Where Tynan genuinely stands out is at Dundalk. She has won 3 of her 13 races there, which works out at almost 1 in every 4 — nearly double her overall rate. For a newcomer, having a track where you already feel at home is a genuine asset, and Dundalk may well become a happy hunting ground as her career develops. She also shows a clear preference for normal ground conditions, winning 3 from 13 races on a standard surface — again, that 1-in-4 return suggests she is at her sharpest when the conditions are straightforward rather than testing.

Four months in, four winners, a track she is beginning to own — Tynan is precisely the kind of rider worth keeping an eye on before the rest of the world catches up.
