I ran five horses in Gowran the last day she ran and they all ran worse than the other but the ground was terrible and sticky. She likes soft ground but couldn't go on it that day and now three of those horses have won since, so it was just one of those things. I gave her a break, she is fit and well now and tomorrow morning I'll enter her in a Galway festival handicap on the Tuesday. If she gets in, we'll take our chance and if you're not in, you can't win.

She has a new owner and Mick (Walsh) is the farrier here at the racecourse. Mick has a few with us this year and this is our first winner together. She was unlucky a few times last year and it was a nice race and setup for her today. She goes on any ground and will get 1m2f on better ground but the testing ground made up the difference (over 7f) today. We had her in the Lincoln but she was out of the handicap so we said we'd come here instead. We'll give three weeks now after this first run and hopefully she will get into those better handicaps now.

If I have a Group 1 horse, this is it. I knew she'd improve from today but we can't get her off the bridle and she was only half-speeding. I'd say she will improve a lot and hopefully we are heading for Royal Ascot. I never had a horse like her to pull away from horses so easily and that's how she initially got her name - everything was easy for her. I'm going to keep her to five or six furlongs as she has so much pace and talent. Both Group 1 sprint races at Royal Ascot would be the plan along with the Flying Five Stakes at the Curragh. she is back from injury so hopefully we can keep her sound. I got her back last July but we had a bit of patching up to do with her. She had knee problems so had to go for an operation. She is in training a long time before today but had no hard gallops done with her. She will go on any ground and she is exciting.

I was a bit afraid as it was her third run in six weeks and she's a light filly. We said we'd come here tonight as the conditions of the race suited more than the horse running in the race. That'll be it for the year, she's a winner at two and Kevin will probably breed off her again and she's won a voucher for him so he can buy another one. It's job done. She actually goes on soft ground very well. She'll have a mark now and we'll come back in the spring provided she's not sold in the meantime or something.
