After race at Navan Sat, 19th Jan, 2019 (1st)

All credit goes to my kids because they ride her out. Without them we wouldn’t be able to continue on the way things have gone.

After race at Ballinrobe Thu, 21st Sep, 2017 (1st)

She's hardy. Her run in Galway was a good one. She came out of it well so it was kind of a no brainer to come,. If she hadn't run in Galway you'd be confident coming here. We were still confident but just with the run in Galway — had it left its mark on her?. The plan was to give her a little break but we'll have to see after that. Liam is very good. He's got an old head on young shoulders. He thought she was gone asleep on him there. He gets her asleep but then she latches on and starts racing. Although I was half worried after going a circuit today she was that switched off.
