She might go back hurdling but to be honest I don't really know where she'll go next. She has some black type over fences.

After race at Leopardstown Sun, 27th Feb, 2011 (1st)

I'm thrilled and she will go for the Mares race (the Listed, Dawn Run Chase) in two weeks time at Limerick.

Daniel G Murphy

After race at Limerick Tue, 28th Dec, 2010 (1st)

She came on from her last run (an unlucky fourth at Thurles). She won a point-to-point and her maiden hurdle at Thurles. Chasing was always going to be her game. I'm not sure where we'll go now but there is a listed mares chase in Thurles at the end of January and she might go there.

Daniel G Murphy

After race at Thurles Fri, 27th Nov, 2009 (1st)

My father died five weeks ago so I have the licence a month. I only have a couple for the track and few point-to-pointers and my main job is working with Paul Cashman both with the racehorses and the stud. We knew she'd love the ground but she did run a bit flat the last day. She'd been going well at home lately though. Tim and Brian Richardson from Cork city own her.
