After race at Tipperary Thu, 7th Jun, 2012 (1st)

She works like a very good mare and we thought she was going to be good after her win at Galway (in July '09),. We were thinking of giving up with her last year. She had a wind-op and I'm not sure if it was down to that but it probably helped. The handicapper gave her some help too. That was a bad race and he can't really kill her for winning it.

After race at Galway Mon, 27th Jul, 2009 (1st)

We were hoping first time blinkers would sharpen her up and the soft ground was a help. In fact I thought maybe she got to the front a little bit too soon. We've not got to the bottom of her stamina wise yet. We may come back here on Saturday for a two mile flat handicap.

J F O'Shea

After race at Kilbeggan Sat, 25th Apr, 2009 (1st)

She did it well. She carries her head a little high but is not un-genuine. She is rated 68 on the flat and she could go back for a staying handicap. (EM)
