After race at Listowel Wed, 23rd Sep, 2020 (1st)

She really toughed it out. Conditions wouldn't have been ideal for her and her jumping went to pot a little bit halfway through the race. Rachael nursed her around and we got back into it. Obviously we had a bit of luck at the last but I'm delighted for the lads. She hadn't run for a while before Tipperary and got tired there. I thought she ran fine that day but we were hoping she'd be better than that. That was a great run today and it's great to get her to win one over fences.
