It's great for Sean (Cleary-Farrell, jockey). He's a real hard worker and a good rider. He's full-time in our yard and deserves all the opportunities he gets. She's a good mare and we might look to Galway now and see if we can get black-type with her. The owners (Yorkshire Rose Syndicate) got up at 3.30am this morning to come over from Leeds, so they'll be happy. She's improving all the time and loves that good ground. She's a bit out to her left, so she might even be better going the other direction but at the moment she's winning this way, so we'll go where we can. W P Mullins, trainer
