After race at Kilbeggan Sat, 12th May, 2012 (1st)

I didn't think she'd win with a circuit to go but she stays and stays . she keeps galloping. She'd prefer softer ground and she might have a break now.

Liam Kenny

After race at Fairyhouse Sun, 1st Jan, 2012 (1st)

She travelled well and Brian did the right thing by kicking on when he did,. She might go back chasing depending on what the handicapper does.

Liam Kenny

After race at Limerick Mon, 2nd May, 2011 (1st)

When she is on form, she is very good. She probably appreciated the juice in the ground.

Liam Kenny

After race at Thurles Thu, 10th Feb, 2011 (1st)

She had some good runs in bumpers but lost her way over hurdles,. The fences seemed to sweeten her up a bit. I've no real plans but she could go for another mares race. She likes heavy ground.
