We were disappointed in Killarney when she ran but it was a bit soon after the previous run I think,. I actually bought the one that won in Killarney (Glint In Her Eye) the other day, so she looks kind of reasonably good value now. I bred her myself and she is a half sister to Laura Bullion and Union Gap and hopefully there will be a few more winners to come out of that pedigree yet. She tough and she stays well - Gold Well makes her that way. She worked very well last year and she went and won a bumper early on and then she went and cracked her pelvis and missed a whole lot of time. Noel Meade, trainer
