After race at Galway Wed, 27th Jul, 2016 (1st)

I.m delighted with that and she's improving all the time. It was a relief after she missed the last and I thought the other horse (Sea Light) was going to get up on her outside. She's tough, kept pulling it out and has guts and a great heart. I have her in the good handicap on Saturday; she was a few pounds out of the handicap but that will bring her in with a penalty. If she's fit and sound she'll run. She could be a nice one for the winter as she handles soft ground and after Saturday I might take my time with her as she's still a novice. Jer's Girl came back in yesterday so we are looking forward to the winter.

She loves that ground. There was no pace and she was free. After missing the last and being free the whole way I was surprised to see her win. She's tough and pulled out more. She could sneak into a handicap at Galway. She gets the four-year-old allowance and it's a great allowance. She's tough for a four-year-old. Over two miles on quick ground things were happening too quick for her. She's only rated 61 on the Flat as well so could go back there.

She just idled in front but he (Brien) had to go on when he did,” . All along I thought she needed good ground but her best runs have now been on heavy at Navan and again today. She'll be kept on the go for the summer and could make a couple of trips to Perth for some mares' novices hurdles. She is owned by a great bunch of lads from the North (Lagan Valley Syndicate) and while they hadn't missed a day, aren't here today.
