She started off here in the summer on good ground, we took a chance on running her, and then she was second in Galway. Then we ran her in the Listed race at Gowran and it was a rough race. They went no gallop for her at Fairyhouse, and she was nearly put out through the rails at Cork. It was an eight runner bumper and she got into awful trouble. After Cork I said we'd go over hurdles with her and then we met Willie twice, and he beat us twice. When he had no entry in the race today I thought we might win one!. Laura is good and tough and she gave her a right good ride. She is a right good mare and she is a half-sister to Three Swallowsnick. There is no race for her over Christmas, so we'll give her a break and she'll go back over hurdles in the new year. She is deserving of her bumper win. I called her after my sister Susan and she is here today and all. John W Nicholson, trainer
