After race at Leopardstown Sat, 13th Sep, 2025 (1st)  It’s a great weekend to showcase Irish racing and just to be part of it is very special; to get one on the board in my first full season as a trainer means a helluva lot. I’ve got a great team of people behind me. My assistant Stephen Mooney is a great part of it, and I owe him plenty. I feel very sorry for Jack Kearney. When we saw the draw for this race we swapped him off this filly, who he has won three times on, and put him on the other filly. It’s just the way the races have been materialising all day, the middle to stands’ side is where you need to be. She’s a real hold up filly and David has given her a perfect ride. To start life off 59 in the wintertime at Dundalk has given her a lot of confidence to come into the turf season. These races aren’t easily won but she’s won like a helluva good filly there today. In Galway from stall 19 she showed that she’s more than capable off top-weight. She ran a cracker. The last day the Cambridgeshire just didn’t work out. There was no pace in the race and Wayne wasn’t hard on her, so she was nice and fresh for today. She’s Saudi owned by a couple of new owners into the yard and hopefully they will be re-investing with us. I’m super proud for them and the support they’ve given me. They sent me this filly before I even had a runner so hats off to them. They picked her out themselves in Goffs, five-and-a-half grand. She must be one of the most progressive h Stephen Thorne

After race at Curragh Sun, 20th Jul, 2025 (1st)  She is very ground versatile but wasn’t right the last day in Leopardstown. Jack gave her a lovely ride and she travelled very smooth. We’ll see what is coming up and we might enter her in the Listed fillies race at Galway as she is a filly in form. The owners are here which is great. They are from Saudi and sent me my first horse even before I had a runner. Stephen Thorne

After race at Dundalk Fri, 14th Mar, 2025 (1st)  We had a few interview conversations with Fran Berry (on Racing TV) and he said she would never get a mile. I said to Jack Kearney last week that there were no more seven furlong options and he said to me 'I don't think so Stephen'. Stephen (Mooney, assistant) and I were proven right tonight!. I just felt she had been getting outpaced over seven and staying on well and looking like she wanted a mile the last two starts. We had no option but to step her up and I'm just so happy that she has got a result because she has been so consistent all season, and has gone up 5lb for not winning. These are Saudi Arabian clients and these were one of my first clients to ring me up to say they wanted to send me a horse. That was very nice. A relatively low-grade, cheap type of horse, so I am very happy that she has won. Hopefully, they will be sending more horses down the road. We might just give her a little bit of a break now, not that she has been overly busy. She qualifies for the '65' next week, the points night, she would have to carry way over that. We might consider it. Otherwise, she will have a break and freshen up and be back on the turf. Stephen Thorne
