Dandy Man gets off mark in style

DANDY MAN, a costly failure on his debut at Leopardstown, proved the most impressive winner on yesterday’s card at Naas, romping to an easy three lengths win in the Tattersals Ireland 2-y-o Auction Race.

Trained by Con Collins, for long time patron Alfie McLean, Dandy Man travelled strongly throughout for Pat Shanahan and quickened clear in great style inside the final furlong to slam the favourite Mama Angela.

Tracy Collins, representing her father, explained: “We have also thought a lot of him and we were very disappointed after Leopardstown. But he came home a sick horse.
