After race at Dundalk Sat, 13th Apr, 2024 (1st)
She's improved in the two weeks (since her debut) and I think the surface has probably helped her. I'm delighted she's won, they are important colours. She ran well first time but I'd say she just didn't love the soft ground, she's enjoyed that surface today. She's a nice filly and I think we'll look at stakes races for the rest of the year. Something like the Polonia, if the ground was quick we might go back to Cork.
