After race at Down Royal Sat, 2nd Nov, 2013 (1st)

Ruby said to drop her back in trip and that'll open up more options for her in the future. She was always going well that was the plan to drop her out and do them for speed.

J J Lambe

After race at Downpatrick Wed, 3rd Apr, 2013 (1st)

I've had a mixed day with three third places and one fourth but this was the one I fancied. Anything that could go wrong did go wrong today. They went no gallop and she met lots of trouble but she's improving and she's a good string to have in my bow. It's onwards and upwards with her. We might go to Ayr for a mares hurdle on Scottish National Day. Patrick McCann from Loughgall, County Armagh is the main man in the partnership. He's my principal backer as he's invested heavily in the yard.
