Sat 23rd Oct

After race at Tramore Sat, 2nd Jun, 2012 (1st)

she was expected to do that and has now won a bumper, hurdle, chase and now on the Flat - she is a fabulous mare. She'll stay over fences now for the summer and if the handicapper gives her a reasonable mark, she could do well in two miles chases.

D T Hughes

After race at Limerick Sun, 20th May, 2012 (1st)

She is eligible for the second season mares chases later in the year. She stays well and likes the decent ground.

D T Hughes

After race at Kilbeggan Fri, 4th May, 2012 (1st)

She was entitled to win her Mares Beginners Chase although I didn't think she would win that far. She is a nice mare and is an Novice now for the season. She will be good over the summer and into the autumn.

D T Hughes

After race at Clonmel Thu, 3rd Feb, 2011 (1st)

She was entitled to win because she has been consistent,. She'll go for a winners' race next and has done alright to win two races already.

D T Hughes

After race at Wexford Sat, 23rd Oct, 2010 (1st)

My horses are ready now and I'm happy with this one. We didn't think we'd win a bumper with her but her best chance was always going to be in one of these mares races. She had a run under her belt and she had form with a cut in the ground over hurdles one day in Naas. She'll go for a maiden hurdle now. Helen won on Swiftmarc before and she rides very well. She is more than alright for a 7Ib claimer.
