She did it well and travelled well everywhere. Anthony was confident, in fairness. I haven't ridden her in a while, I rode her before Christmas and that. I always kind of came up short on her when I did ride her, but I was fairly confident for a long way today that she was very well in. Sometimes with these fillies, when they click, they click. There might be a bit of fine tuning and that. It is always nice to get a winner for Anthony who has been a good supporter of mine through the years, so it is nice to keep that partnership going.

The first night Seamie rode her he said he was sorry he didn't win on her. He promised after Christmas that she would win one or two. I thought the handicapper had her now, she went up 9lb which I thought was very strong for winter-time racing. For a second, I didn't think she held on. I'm very happy and I'm glad Seamie was back on again. She's a Holy Roman (Emperor) out of a Galileo mare, there's no reason why she wouldn't handle the turf but she seems to love it up here. I don't know when she ever had a bad run up here, she had been finishing fourth and fifth. She always had a hard-luck story. Hopefully, she keeps going the right way.

Absolutely (delighted to get her off the mark), a big thanks to the owners for sticking with her. A lot of people would have pulled out. They were consistent enough runs, but she wasn't getting there. Seamie was a wee bit disappointed the last night for not winning on her, the first time he rode her. He got off her and said he would win on her the next time. This was the first available race he was able to get on her. She was never going to stop with Seamie on her back!. Hopefully there is (another one in her). As Seamie says, it is all about getting her head in front and now we have her head in front.
