After race at Gowran Park Sat, 16th Sep, 2017 (1st) 
That's great. She can just be a bit messy at the start. She didn't go in the last day and we've done a lot of work with her at home,. Pat said she was a little bit iffy today but she went in and she relaxed inside. She's a nice filly but she just takes a bit of gentle handling. She didn't mind the ground at all. That's my 751th winner and Pat has now gone one in the lead (in jockey's championship). It's a good tonic for Bill (Foley) as well. He has a good few horses in training and is a great man. I'd say she'll run on the grass again next time and then she might go to Dundalk. It's just a case of keeping her nice and relaxed.
