That was badly needed. I'm well pleased for the owner and my staff. Everybody needed it to give us a lift. We tried everything with her - we have been holding her up and we ran her on the Flat in Down Royal to sharpen her a piece and she was just outclassed. Today I said to James (O'Sullivan) ' we have nothing to lose, jump out and be on the premises the whole time and see what happens' and he said it just made the difference as she was far more interested. She is what she is and that is seven races she has won now (including four on the Flat in Britain for Mick Channon). That's a fair achievement. We hope the handicapper doesn't go mad with her and she will slip through somewhere again. James is a great rider for his claim, he rides well and talks a lot of sense when he gets off.

I had to renew the license and I . I didn't think it would happen that quick. We bought her out of Mick Channon's and we gave her a couple of runs and she was very novicey. We didn't know what to expect today, it was her first time in a handicap. He gave her a great ride, Adam, and schooled her well. I just told him to hunt away after them at the top of the hill and see what happens. She has just started to come to herself the last few weeks. It's great for the owner. The long-term plan for her is a mares' hurdle in Ayr in April over three miles.
