For Bill the best of the mares

She was receiving 8Ibs from Blazing Tempo and a mistake by that one two out ended her chance as For Bill galloped on resolutely under Paul Carberry (deputising for Davy Russell – got a fall from Mossbank in the previous race) to land the Grade 3 Mares Ask & Getaway Coolmore NH Sires European Breeders Fund Novice Chase at Thurles.

Follow The Plan back to his best

Review tipperary 23rd Apr

After race at Navan Sat, 26th Feb, 2011 (1st)

She will go to Limerick next on the 13th of March (for the Dawn Run, Grade 3 Mares Novice Chase) that's the plan. Davy said he was delighted with her. In fairness she is a great jumper, that ground wouldn't be the nicest - it's loose, deep and tacky.

Michael Winters

After race at Thurles Thu, 27th Jan, 2011 (1st)

Donie (Sheehan the owner, 84yo) was faster than the mare to book Carberry . he had him booked nearly as soon as Davy (Russell, got a fall off Mossbank in the previous race) had hit the ground!. When you build this mare up you can nearly run her every fortnight and turn her out in between. I knew she was right coming here today and the run the last day turned her inside out. There is a race for her at Limerick on the 13th of March and that would be the aim. Ideally though I'd like to give her a run in two or three weeks time before that.

Michael Winters

After race at Thurles Thu, 13th Jan, 2011 (1st)

It was very tough out there today and Davy made her mind up for her,. Adrian (Maguire - Winters' brother-in-law) rode her a piece of work the other day and said she was as fit as a fiddle. She just needed to get the last day out of her system (fourth over hurdles at Leopardstown). We'll come back here in a fortnight's time for the Grade 3 Novice Chase.

Michael Winters

After race at Clonmel Thu, 4th Feb, 2010 (1st)

The last day she ran she had just gone too light,. We gave her a pop over hurdles at Dromahane recently and she was outstanding. Before she was jumping them but measuring them. She'll go for a novice hurdle at Limerick or Fairyhouse if she's right. The break she got was the key to her.

Michael Winters

After race at Clonmel Thu, 17th Dec, 2009 (1st)

She had to work hard. Mikey said the ground was very tacky. A win is a win,. She was probably a little bit idle through the race and I think she may be better left handed. There is a mares' winners race at Mallow in January for her. We'll take it as it comes this season. She's a great jumper of a fence and will go chasing next year.

Michael Winters

After race at Punchestown Wed, 28th Oct, 2009 (1st)

She was idle and it'll be the making of her - it was tough,. We'll go for a mares winners of two bumper with her now at Navan. That will probably bring her on a good bit.

Michael Winters

After race at Tipperary Thu, 23rd Apr, 2009 (1st)

that was a very good performance and hopefully she will be left off now for the summer. I'd imagine she will come back in for Listowel next September to go hurdling.
