She told me that I'd under cooked her at Fairyhouse. She needed the run and was bucking and kicking since she ran on Wednesday, so we said we'd take a chance and come here today. Thankfully it's worked out. I was minding her too much, and Niall said she was a lot easier handled today. She was very gassy in Fairyhouse and it was a rotten day as well. Maybe she will come back here for the (final of the series) big pot but Niall said she would have to be ridden to get seven. She just handled the ground today. There are plenty of races for her, and I might even go for black type rather than the big pot. Thomas Mullins, trainer
