Jills Ballet leads them a merry dance
She got a tendon injury at Leopardstown in 2009 and off the track for two years so the tears are flowing. She's a very honest mare and the good ones are easy to train. It is my first winner ever at the Curragh from my third run here. I have three flat horses in training though I'm longing to have some more. Antoine got the race right and she stayed on well. Credit must go to Frederick Rooney who did a lot of road walking with this horse as part of her rehabilitation.
Manieree runs her rivals ragged
It has been a good week. We have nice horses running in the right races. She likes soft ground and improved a bit today. The mile-and-a-quarter is better for her than one mile one furlong. She has been working better and better. Niall said she was very fresh on the way to the start but when he asked her to go during the race she flew. She's a good filly and might be better if the ground is heavy. She is in the Prix de l'Opera and I'll train her for it. If it is a soft ground week in France she might run there. She can make the running which can be useful in France.
