After race at Ballinrobe Mon, 24th Jun, 2019 (1st)

She was entitled to that. She travels well but she is not the easiest as she likes to do things her way. In a small field she can get her way,. She was bit tricky in the stalls and I thought 'oh no here we go' but he was able to rectify that once he got out. I'm delighted with her, she is a tough old bird. I'm delighted for the owners who have been big supporters of mine from the word go and it's so important for them to get a winner. Peter Newell sadly isn't here today, he is under the weather at the minute but he is a lovely owner and he loves his racing.
