I thought she’d run well, but I thought the ones with a few runs might do her for a bit of experience,. It’s great for Seamus, he bought her off us a month ago, we hoped she was a nice filly. He bought a few point-to-pointers off us before, they won a few races but didn’t work out, so it’s grand to sell him one now. I think it’s his first Flat horse. He met me at Navan in January and said he’d love to get a Flat filly, and I said ‘I have one for you’ and this is it. We like her and hopefully now she keeps going. We might look at a stakes race, something like the Polonia, although we could maybe take our time with her if we got a winners’ race somewhere. I’d say she probably is a stakes filly. She’s still a bit immature. We liked her last year at the back end, but we left her off and didn’t run her as she was a bit backward, and he said she’s still a little weak. We’ll let her tell us where we go. Andrew Slattery, trainer
