After race at Cork Fri, 26th Jul, 2024 (1st)
that was a big surprise as she had a break after being withdrawn in the stalls at Navan (in April) and I thought she might need the run. The plan was to come here and then go to Laytown but I'm not sure she will get in there now. It might have been horses-for-courses and it is her time of the year as well but she was impressive. It is hard to imagine a six-year-old mare improving as much as that but I suppose those sprinters can do it. We are just riding at the crest of a wave at the moment and the horses are just so healthy and well. Leigh and Shane Foley are so handy for riding work for us on the Curragh and Leigh is a great man. He missed a few winners due to his injury but that winner will help him ahead of the Galway festival next week.

No-one else really had ridden her other than Conor (Hoban). Oisin got on her and got to know her the last day - she had a terrible draw the last day and it made all the difference today.

the plan after she won in Cork was to go for this race. It was six or seven weeks away but we didn't bother getting a race in between.

After race at Dundalk Fri, 25th Mar, 2022 (1st)
It is Conor's only ride on the night and he said the winners have been coming from the outside really in a pattern all year. As much as (stall) 10 is not ideal for five furlongs, it probably isn't a bad thing. Conor has been riding her all along. We forced her along a little bit early on over a couple of races and he said she doesn't have to be forced along. He followed and switched out and it worked perfectly today and he gave her a great ride. He said she'll have no problem going on the grass as well. She hasn't had a hard winter really. When she last ran in January, we said we would wait for this pot. It is the final (day of the winter series) and the prize money is very good.
