After race at Cork Thu, 24th Mar, 2022 (1st)  I was apprehensive about running as the ground was a concern. Her best form is with a dig but we walked it and knew it was safe. For a handy sized mare she was giving away plenty of weight and I thought she was impressive and looked a winner from a long way out. I thought he gave her a lovely, patient ride. She wasn't scoping perfect after her last run and we had to give her a break so it has taken her longer to get out. I would say it is another step forward . Where she goes next is all ground-dependent but I can't wait until she goes over a fence because she is dynamic at jumping fences and that's really what I'm looking forward to. I have five or six horses to run, I'm very quiet. We normally have a few that we breed ourselves to run away but have scaled back on that because the numbers were getting too big and with not enough good broodmares. My owners are keeping the show on the road and this is brilliant. Sean O O'Brien

After race at Cork Sun, 5th Dec, 2021 (1st)  Nearly every year there's a small entry for this race, and I remember having a nice mare years ago, Outlaw Princess, placed to Mossbank in it. Black-type is what it's all about. The man that owns her, when she won her point to point he had no interest in selling her and he wanted to have a runner. Back then, when she won, it was his first winner. So, to make a long story short, she always wanted a trip but the programme of races that are there, between here and next January, forced our hand to come here. It was either that or go to Punchestown for a handicap. But, even when she ran in handicaps, she was out on her head. I said to Mark (McDonagh) going out, to ride her to get home and try to pick up the pieces. I thought he did that better than I could have envisaged. Did I expect that? No. Did I expect her to be placed? On her handicap mark, no. But three miles on soft ground, and you're just hoping one or two don't step up to the mark, and that's what happened. The race fell apart, and she just kept galloping, and her jumping was unbelievable. But he never got involved, he put her asleep through the race. He had walked the track and he just said that down the paint, if he could get real tight, he thought he could make nice ground without being inside in terrible ground. And that's exactly what happened. I thought he gave her a peach of a ride. It was his first graded winner. We couldn't claim the 7lbs but to be fair to the man who owns her, Pat Casey, he said he still wanted Sean O O'Brien
