After race at Listowel Mon, 3rd Jun, 2024 (1st)  She is maturing with age and being in foal (to Hurricane Lane) seems to have got her to finish out her races better. She was always a great mare but just wasn't able to finish out her races. The handicapper was fair to her after she won the last day and there is now a 0-140 E80,000 race for her in Galway. She is in such good form that she might run in that and that will be her last race. She has been a great servant for our small yard and has taken us to places we only dreamed of - she finished second in Leopardstown and has run against the big boys. To have a winner in Killarney and here is fantastic and she is owned by a great bunch of lads. David M O'Brien

After race at Killarney Sun, 12th May, 2024 (1st)  Minx Tiara is confirmed in-foal to Hurricane Lane so maybe that brought out that extra bit of improvement. We put her back over hurdles because she was better treated over hurdles and while she had a great run at Leopardstown (February), went to Sandown but the (UK) handicapper put us to the cross by giving us 11lb more. She also didn't eat when she went over and the ground was also really tacky which she doesn't like. I was delighted she got balloted out of a hot race at Punchestown (a fortnight ago) as I probably wouldn't have ran her here. she has a high cruising speed, likes to go a good gallop and while she might be a soft finisher, you have to use her early pace. She was initially bought for 1,000 quid in Goresbridge and as she was showing a bit at home, the Fastey For Fun Syndicate bought her and have had great fun with her. She has been placed and has picked up big prizemoney in bigger races. Breeding is a long game and we aren't into it, so we'll probably sell her off at the end of the year and hope to replace her.

After race at Limerick Sun, 27th Mar, 2022 (1st)  Sean (Flanagan) said if she put-down at the second-last, he wouldn't have been found for days!. she was bought broken-and-riding for just €1,000 as a three year old at Goresbridge — she'd have cost that just to break her, so was cheap. She jumped great and is a good leaper. We thought she'd win another hurdle before going back chasing but had little issues and was getting caught at the finish, so I got her palate fired. She loves going forward and going from the front and today's race was an ideal opportunity. They did a great job watering and it was safe ground. She is a versatile mare. She is better over fences, is heading the right way and maybe next year could be a Galway Plate mare. David M O'Brien

After race at Wexford Wed, 5th Jun, 2019 (1st)  she was unlucky the first day in a point-to-point, so they boys (Fastey For Fun Syndicate) said we'll go to the track with her and have a bit of fun. I bought her from a neighbour of mine, Billy Cuddihy, and Double Windsor was bought off him too, so it's all working out. The few horses I have are running well now thank God. It keeps the thing going. She'll probably go for a handicap now or maybe a little novice. Sean said she was still green and she loves an ease in the ground. She was very green the first day over hurdles, she wasn't jumping as good and got detached but stayed on well. David M O'Brien
