After race at Listowel Mon, 15th Sep, 2014 (1st)

She ran better than her place would suggest the last day. She got stopped a few times in the race there and the jockey wasn't too hard on her when her chance was gone. She is in here again on Friday in an amateur handicap and we will see how she comes out of today first.

Augustine Leahy

After race at Tramore Fri, 15th Aug, 2014 (1st)

Mark said to keep her for Listowel as she likes it there as well. He is a good pilot, but she gave him plenty of help in the last quarter mile. Going down the hill she looked sort of cooked, but she kept at it. She is consistent and I'm glad for her.
