After race at Leopardstown Thu, 11th Aug, 2011 (1st)

That's grand. She's all heart and a lovely filly. She has been improving all summer and the whole idea was to get black type with her. She wasn't 100% right last time [second in the Group 3 Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh]. It looked a very hot race on paper. I thought I would declare her and see. When I saw the race I thought she had a chance of winning. I knew she wouldn't let us down. It's nice to win a Group 3 with her and it's very important for Ennistown Stud the breeders.

After race at Curragh Sat, 25th Jun, 2011 (1st)

It was a hard ask against older horses last time. We learned a good bit from that though and this was always on the agenda if the handicapper gave us a chance. This was too big a pot to pass up. We intended to jump out and make all and they put it up to her and she fought back. She is a lovely filly, she's done nothing but progress and the only thing we weren't sure about was the ground. She's in the Brownstown Stakes at Fairyhouse on Wednesday and if she's okay we'll take a pot at that. From now on we'll try to get black-type as it is an owner/breeder set-up.

After race at Curragh Sat, 21st May, 2011 (1st)

She is very straight-forward. She's a lovely filly and I hope she's a black-type filly. She won like a horse for the future and I'll see what Johnny made of her later.

After race at Dundalk Fri, 26th Nov, 2010 (1st)

She is a fine big filly and it is great for the lads who own her (the Viking Syndicate). They work in Ennistown Stud, and they cuddled her back to health after she broke her nose as a yearling. It is important for the breeders to win with these two-year-olds so it's good for Ennistown Stud who have the dam. Keagan was very strong on her and hopefully we'll be able to win with the third filly (Girl Guide) next weekend.
