I want to thank my wife Patricia. I thought it was too soft for her but she said to put her in. I told Bryan Cooper too hold her up and she carried herself into the race. She was a lot more relaxed today. She will go for a two mile Ladies Handicap on the level at Tramore next and I booked Jane Mangan to ride her in that before Galway. I want to thank her owners (the South Syndicate who are a six person syndicate from Skibbereen) as well for sticking with the mare. Michael Winters, trainer
