Punchestown Wed, 18th Feb, 2026  Grainne A Chroi That was great, we’re delighted. She’s actually a good mare, but she’s gotten stronger as she’s got older. We were a little bit worried as she got a bad fall before Christmas, schooling. She was telling us she was right but we were still nervous. Her skin was unreal. She’s tough and she actually did it really well. She came around the home-bend really travelling and he went for it. John hadn’t sat on her in a long time, but he won her maiden hurdle. We were just worried about today and we’ll see where we go now. We’ll see how she is tomorrow. She’ll tell us where we’re going next. That was amazing, I can’t believe it. She’s our pet at home. She’s not over-big, but she’s got a serious heart.
