It was my fault the last day in Wexford - we rode her the wrong way, we dropped her out and there was no pace and it turned into a sprint,. She wants a big, galloping track like this. She has plenty of experience now, she has her point-to-point won but I was surprised how well she travelled all the way down and, then when the other horse came to her, I thought he might take her by surprise and just go by her, but she heard him coming and picked up. This is a bonus because she is a staying mare, she is a jumping mare. We are delighted to get that job done today. She won a point-to-point in Lisronagh last year, so on the basis of that she is well capable of winning a mares' maiden hurdle and we will see where we go after that. We'll go for a mares' maiden hurdle in three or four weeks time. I wouldn't think she would want deep ground, but until Christmas the ground doesn't tend to get too bad. Barry Connell, trainer
