Likewhatyousee (7/1) improved a placing on a recent runner-up effort to score on her fifth attempt today, winning the Curragh’s Bill Hanlon Memorial Fillies Maiden for owner/trainer Cormac Farrell and jockey Rory Cleary.

The 67-rated daughter of Street Sense had finished second at Bellewstown on an earlier start on October 1 and today progressed to defeat 73-rated Eroico by three-parts of a length.

Farrell reported “it’s a big credit to all the lads at home. It’s always a team effort and we have fantastic riders and ground staff. You wouldn’t do it without them as I’m away at the sales a lot.

“I’m delighted for everybody at home. This filly is actually going to the sales next week so that was nice. She’s going to progress into a lovely filly next year and hopefully with a new owner. That’s really all I do, is sell them. It’s unusual that I even have a three-year-old racing.

“I’m delighted with her. I thought she was in good form but I was a little bit worried about the ground. She’s very fit as she’s been galloping with some of the jumpers, leading a few of the bumper horses. She’s been doing plenty of nice steady work.

“She’s a lovely filly for the future. I think when she gets fast ground she’ll improve an awful lot.”

My Racing Story. Jane Carpenter

I'm from just outside Kells, Co Meath and I suppose racing has always been a passion of mine. I do love the sport, and it is brilliant to make a career out of it now. My family are huge racing fans and I suppose the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Racing is a highly discussed topic at home with my family as well as farming. The racing is never off the TV. We take an annual family holiday to Galway every year. We go down for the week, and I've been going since I was a child. It is a proper family tradition now. We have going to the same house for the races I'd say for 14 or 15 years now. There are so many bedrooms there and some of my friends from home come down towards the weekend. It is a proper good holiday, and it is always in our calendars every single year. We were in Punchestown recently after Fairyhouse, so we would be big supporters of going racing. My parents are farmers, so I wouldn't have a close association with horses. I grew up on the farm, and I've been surrounded by animals all of my life. I know at first hand the effort, work and dedication that goes into animals and caring for them. I would have helped dad out on the farm alongside my two brothers. We still try to give a hand when time allows. We've no horses here on the farm, but I'm extremely confident that we will one day! I used to do a bit of riding when I was younger at my local equestrian centre. Things just got in the way then, but last summer I took it back up as a hobby. I'm really enjoying that again.
