After race at Sligo Thu, 7th Aug, 2014 (1st)

She was a bit unlucky at Galway where she didn't come down the hill that well and got boxed in a bit.

Michael Hourigan

After race at Tipperary Thu, 15th May, 2014 (1st)

She had been very disappointing but the fine weather helped her turn the corner. She was a big, round mare when I got her and was one of those big, backward types that took time. She will probably get a slap for winning it but it was a bad race.
