After race at Killarney Wed, 13th Jul, 2022 (1st)

It is beautiful ground but Billy said it was even a tad slow for her. She reared as the stalls opened at Ascot - it was 30 fillies, she is impatient and was in the stalls a while but I thought she ran a lovely race on quick ground. Billy said she idled a bit when she hit the front today but fought back. Everyone was fighting for their position and you won't get anything easy here. She was trapped wide but it is chopped up down the inner. It is onwards and upwards, she is a fast ground filly and will develop into a lovely filly for next year as she is only maturing. It is an important win for the pedigree and the Niarchos family (Flaxman Stables Ireland) stand Karakontie in America. It is an important Listed win for him and he had a Group 3 winner in America yesterday. It is lovely to train a winner for them and Billy is riding out of his skin.
