After race at Navan Wed, 20th Oct, 2021 (1st)

that was long overdue. I was a bit worried the five (furlongs) might be a bit short for her but the blinkers really sharpened her up today. I can’t believe this filly hadn’t won. She’s broken my heart as she works over everything at home. She’s a sister to Texas Rock (a dual Listed winner for the trainer) and it took a while for the penny to drop with him so maybe it might be the same for her. We’ll put her away and find a route for her next year. We always thought she was a Stakes filly and that’s where we would like to end up but she’s still well handicapped. It wasn’t the strongest of races but it’s nothing that she hasn’t shown us at home. The blinkers really worked as she was really on it. We’ve had a good year and she’s the only one that I was disappointed that hadn’t won.
