Curragh Fri, 24th May, 2024  Apricot Ice She got the job done. We obviously thought a bit of her, and she's been letting us down, and I think we're between trips with her,. You can see that she's on the leg and whether it's immaturity or not. It took a good colt to beat her in Leopardstown but I didn't think we hit the line strong so I took the view that we'd come back here and have a punt at six on a proper track. We hoped that there were no sneaky ones in there that hadn't run. Colin said of what we knew of the ones that had run we should be winning. That's the maiden box ticked, we'll go home and let her mature now. I thought she parked but she got it done. Let's give her the benefit of the doubt that she's a little bit on the immature side but at the minute I'd have a question mark over her trip.

He worked really well the other morning, so we were quite confident that he had improved enough to handle the 4lbs for winning the other day. He'll go to Leopardstown next in about three weeks, that's the plan for him - I don't like running horses on heavy ground. He's a progressive three-year-old over a trip and you don't know where they will stop.
