"She had a little bit of wind surgery over the winter and it is after really turning her around. "She'll go chasing, the owner is adamant to go chasing. It was a struggle to get him here to go to a hurdle! "She could (go on to better things), she did promise plenty and she wasn't just finishing out her races. She was good today."
