After race at Cork Sun, 1st Sep, 2019 (1st)

She stepped up plenty from her first run, she was very raw the first day. She'll be a lovely filly next year going a mile-and-a-half. I loved the way she quickened in the last furlong, and galloped out, she might have a little bit of class about her. It's not Dad's way to put them away so I'd imagine if there is a race for her over a mile somewhere she'll run again.
