For once things worked out. I didn't run her last week in Killarney, as the ground was a bit lively, and was wondering if I'd done the right thing as it was a huge pot. At least it paid off,. I thought she was in good old form coming here. I'm delighted to have a horse in training for Ballylinch, and David Hyland is also involved. They are nice owners.
