Tue, 15th Jul, 2025  She ran some good races last year. After her last run, we found an issue and she needed a bit of time off, so she went back to the owner (Brenda Cunningham). I was keen on getting her back because I did think we had left a race behind us. Fair play to the owners, they have been very patient and very loyal to me. They gave her back to me and Brian Hamilton has done a great job with her, he was doing a lot of the pre-training with her. She came back in super shape. I'm delighted their patience and faith was rewarded because I kept telling them she would win. She hasn't had that many runs and there's not that much of her. She is probably better under-trained but I'm sure she will improve a little bit for it. We are still learning about her, but delighted. They (Ben and Alex Harvey) are both excellent jockeys and lucky to have them both in the yard. They should be getting more rides externally - very tough in this country if you are not with the 'big five' or whatever, you struggle, but they are as good as any of the lads. John C McConnell
