After race at Tramore Sat, 20th Apr, 2013 (1st) 
I'm happy with that even though she broke the first fence which is unlike her. I was a bit disappointed with her jumping but Andrew was happy with her. She'll be better on better ground and I saw this race as early as February. I got excited about it then. We'll try and get a bit of black-type for her now. The Grade 3 in Roscommon will be a target for her. Hopefully she'll have better ground then. She's a cousin to Special Tiara (Aintree Grade 1 hero) and she's a full-sister to Royal Choice who won around here too.

Whatever she does over hurdles will be a bonus as she will be a better chaser. Hopefully we will get some good weather as I think she is a summer mare and will be better on better ground.
