Naas Sun, 23rd Aug, 2026  Maeda Matsu It’s just pure relief. The horses have been running fantastic, we’ve been touched off in big handicaps, but that is my first winner this year and that’s a bit scary. I’m thrilled. Obviously we got a few calls about her, but John is very happy to hold on to her. It’s great as you kind of need a flagship. She was very green in front and Rory wasn’t hard on her. I would think I’d be looking at the Ingabelle for her, that’s why I stepped her up so quickly to seven. Rory said she could win at six but that she’d be okay over seven. She’s not in any of the big races, hopefully she’ll be a stunning filly for next year. Rory said he didn’t even pick it up and give her a backhander. She leaned in but it wasn’t ungenuine, it was just pure greenness. I tend not to take them off the bridle and they learn on the track. Rory said at the end the penny was starting to drop and it was the same in the Ballyhane.
