After race at Clonmel Thu, 3rd Mar, 2022 (1st)  I didn't expect that as I felt she wasn't ready for this but she loves the ground. We knew she wanted that ground, it is gruelling ground but she is a real winter mare. She had a four-year-old allowance and John (O'Meara) took off 5lb and he put her to sleep. We were only riding her to run well and we thought she'd get tired but she must be very good. She'll bumper this season and there are a few Listed bumpers. There is a load of improvement in her. She was actually bought by a new owner Declan Sheridan, a restaurant owner from Cavan town, yesterday morning so it was a lucky start for him. I'm delighted for him he obviously doesn't mess around because I showed him a few horses and he bought two of them. John is a big part of the yard and he and Damien Skehan are my main men. John takes care of any of the hardy horses and is great for teaching young staff as well. Denis Gerard Hogan
