She toughed it out, which is something she hadn't really done before but Aidan said she jumped great and stuck her head down,. She was unsuited by the heavy ground here in January but seems to like that. We'll keep her going for the summer.

After race at Clonmel Thu, 24th Oct, 2024 (1st)
It was a great day and I'm delighted for Peter, who gave her a great ride and is with me full-time. He works very hard and is a very good rider who is only getting going. She had been frustrating as we thought she'd have won something by now but, for only her second chase run, she seems to love jumping. Hopefully, it might now ignite a spark and it is great to get the winning bracket as she is homebred by Noreen (McManus). We have a small number for the winter, but have a few nice horses and team are in good form, so hopefully it will continue.
