After race at Clonmel Thu, 5th Sep, 2024 (1st)

She is consistent, in fairness to her, and as long as the ground stays good she'll stay running. She will run in the all-weather for the winter and I'd say she will be covered then next year. There are two in the partnership (Sheoda Racing Partnership), Eoin and Darragh Godfrey, and this is this first horse. They are hurling for South Liberties (club) tonight, so aren't here unfortunately. Josh knows Eoin (son) as he works in Gordon Elliott's and this is his first ride for me. He should make it and if he turns out to be anything like his father (Norman), he will do.
