After race at Punchestown Tue, 29th Apr, 2025 (1st)

It didn't go to plan really at all. She didn't travel. She jumped okay but I was flat to the tin all the way. She just started to come alive when we turned to face two out I guess, maybe half-a-mile out. She picked up really well from there. She was quick away from the last. I thought it was a good performance. The ground is just on the easy side of good. It's lovely. There is not many that win six never mind six in a row!. We didn’t plan on being that far back but she’s a good horse. He said he was going to ride her to come home and come home she has. Will (Watt) gave John (Lalor) half of her as a wedding present so it was quite the gift!. A couple of times last year I was on the verge of retiring her. I couldn’t get her right and she didn’t run to her mark, but her owners were very patient and thank God they were as she’s some mare.
