she is a madam and likes to do things her own way but it's horses for courses. She will run decent races at the likes of Punchestown and Fairyhouse but when it comes to winning she has to come to Kilbeggan! . In fairness to her she has been healthy and sound and she has given us some sport in the last couple of seasons. The plan was to cover her as she has a tremendous pedigree: Willie Mullins paid E90,000 for her half-brother recently at the Sales and her three-parts brother by Galileo is in next year's Epsom Derby. It's a great old fashioned Aga Khan pedigree and we're looking forward to breeding from her. It would be silly go go chasing with her as I think she would sulk and I don't think she'd enjoy chasing. In truth and I don't think we'd enjoy watching her jumping!

She is so consistent and has been in the first four about twenty-five times. She is also very versatile and it doesn't seem to make a difference whether she is running on soft over two miles or on good to firm over three miles. I bought her for €1,000 at Goffs a few years ago out of the John Oxx yard and she is very sound and has great wind. She often hits a bit of flat spot during her races but her jumping keeps her in it. She travelled sweeter today that usual. Jody is great value for his seven pound claim although I would like to give Brian Hayes a special mention as he normally rides her but he is out suspended at the moment. He also does a lot of work on her at home. She will still be a novice for another ten months so it gives her plenty of options.

I finally found the key to her and that's to run her every second day! [fourth at Tramore on Friday evening]. I'm not in the habit of running them again so quickly, but she's a bit different. We'll keep her on the go for the summer now. Brian thinks that she'll make a fabulous chaser. She's an Aga Khan bred.
