Sol' about Orla after 33/1 win

IT WAS a family affair at Fairyhouse on Thursday evening as Orla Tynan rode her first winner, with 33/1 shot Solomon Coop landing the House Restaurant Apprentice Handicap.

The win was all the more special as Solomon Coop is trained by Orla’s grandfather Matty Tynan.

The 18-year-old jockey, who was having just her fourth ride on a racecourse, guided the four-year-old to victory with a brilliant ride in the 1m2f contest as Solomon Coop hit the front passing the two furlong pole and went on to beat Si Senior by two-and-a-quarter lengths.
