This lad (Hugh Horgan) can ride, he is very strong in a finish too. When you weigh out with him, you have confidence in him. He knows what he is about and he can talk through a race and he has a plan going out. He gives a trainer great confidence, I think. She had a good run over seven two runs back and we had a bad draw the last day. The draw is crucial around here. Great win for the stallion, Poet's Word, as well. It is seemingly his first winner in Ireland. He has a great strike record in England. Shane Crawley

Fri, 12th Dec, 2025  It is good to be back! She loves it around here. She has been breaking badly lately over a mile and a-quarter - very quick at home, but breaking badly. A mile and a-half she has more time to get to the bend. He (Hassett) told me at the start this was the plan, he was going to get her out smart and maybe give her one behind the saddle if we have to. I have to say with Wayne, it is like you are talking to Seamie (Heffernan) or Niall McCullagh. He's very good and a great understanding of a horse. His feedback is really good, and you just have great confidence (in him). We'll see what the handicapper does. I think we will keep her at the mile and a-half. Shane Crawley

After race at Dundalk Wed, 13th Nov, 2024 (1st)  Delighted!. The sire is Poet's Word, so should get the trip. That race was ideal today. I wouldn't mind dropping her back to a mile in that company. Hopefully, we can go to war again. Freshen her up and, whenever she is ready, we will go again. Shane Crawley

Whenever you get the chance to run here - it is so competitive and the ballots and everything - you run as long as they are right. I think more of the same for her and I think we will stick to the mile. Shane Crawley
