in her last run there was no pace and she pulled her head off so we took her to a schooling race and left her go out in front and she went really well. Obviously some penny has dropped since then and she has become very professional. We have no doubt she has ability but we just have to get it right with her. All the races she's had, she has learned a lot and today was the chance to put her out in front. I was happy with her and was really hoping she'd win and would have been disappointed if she didn't. We'll look for black-type for sure and she is a chasing type who has already schooled over fences. The penny has really dropped since her last schooling race and she will stay in time.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident passing the stands on the approach to the bend involving Battle Of Ridgeway, ridden by A.P. Kelly, unplaced, and Miss Madeline, ridden by P.K. Donovan, placed sixth, where it appeared that Battle Of Ridgeway momentarily ran short of room on the railing. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. A.P. Kelly, stated that he got tight for room on the railing, but when he shouted for room the horse on his outside made room for him. P.K. Donovan, stated that the field moved in towards the railing causing him to lean on Mr. Kelly, but he moved off him as soon as possible. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards did not apportion blame to any rider and therefore and took no further action
