After race at Ballinrobe Mon, 11th Aug, 2025 (1st)

I was sick that she didn't get into a Listed hurdle at Galway, as she was second reserve and the first reserve got it. She is high class and progressive. I didn't break her until she was a five-year-old so she is seriously progressive and has a great pedigree.'

After race at Kilbeggan Fri, 16th May, 2025 (1st)

She’s a smashing mare. She’s only six-year-old and we thought the world of her all the time,. She lost her form during the winter. She’s a Cloudings, I thought if the ground was well watered today she’d have a right chance. She’s a good tough honest mare. Herself and her workmate Kate Knows Best, who won the other day, are good mares. I have a bunch of very nice mares and she’s one of them. She’ll probably go over fences before the season is out. She’s a lovely scopey mare. They are in great form, that’s four winners in a few days so it’s a great start.
