I was struggling to get back weight-wise and had good help from physios and dietitians. Garry Cribbin is my agent and I'm back riding out with John Flavin a good bit, I'm with Henry (De Bromhead), Paul Power and ride out for Eric (Larkin, today's winning trainer) also. I have two horses and one of them is paying her way! If she didn’t perform today, she wasn’t going to be coming back next year but this might change things. I didn’t really fancy her - we ran her over hurdles about a month ago and I thought she’d run an awful lot better than she did. She pulled a shoe early and whether that affected her, I don’t know. I was very disappointed and thought she might have had enough but one of the owners Gerard Kehoe is based in America so this was a plan as he was returning for Easter. She was running regardless but I was worried about the ground. She has three gears and that’s it - she hasn’t a fourth but keeps galloping and plugs away. The schedule for the summer came out yesterday and there are long-distance chases at the likes of Wexford which could suit. Eric Larkin, trainer
