After race at Leopardstown Thu, 20th Jul, 2023 (1st)

She was very impressive, we were delighted that she just did what she had been showing us,. We said to the owner as a two-year-old that 'this one is a bit special' and that's where the name came from. We minded her at two because it was late in the season and when it came to three we said we'd wait for the right race. She had been doing everything really really well. It's a good family, and I like the sister a lot, but we think this one is just that little bit special. It's just nice to see her going and doing it. We're not 100 percent sure where we're going to go next with her. Really today was the first thing and we wanted to see how she would do. First time out you are always a little bit apprehensive to see if she'll do it. I think we can go where we want with her. She was a bit green today so she should improve a nice bit.
