I was hoping that we might get her placed today,. Chatting to Ruby before the race we both thought she stayed and I said 'if you can get her to jump over the first few hurdles and be up there in the first three'. Her form in France showed that she was always staying on and it looked like she wanted a further trip. That was the plan and we were hoping she'd stay on to be third or fourth but she stayed on to win. There is not a lot of her, she's skin and bones, but that's the way she is. When she came from France she was like that and I've been kind of trying to train her but not to train her. I've been trying to keep her together. She's tough and obviously doesn't need a lot of training because she's just naturally fit I'd say. That opens a lot of doors. We'll look at Punchestown and she's one that will definitely go back to France for the meetings in May and June. I'd say the ground has to be a help because she's not a strong mare but she's very, very fit and very tough as she showed today. I'd say she'll go to Punchestown as she hasn't had a hard season this year. W P Mullins, trainer
