It was a bit of a gamble running her. If we could have pulled her out on Friday we would have but there was no change in ground or anything. She ran a cracker in Cork. She's had three runs here now and it's two wins and a second so it's horses for courses. She's tough and genuine. It was hard not to run today with just four runners. She'll need a little break after that. We'll see how she is after that, we'll go back chasing anyway but if a hurdle turns up we'll see what the handicapper does. She was a few pounds wrong there but experience is a big help.

It was a great ride from Luke. I promised Philip (Dempsey) I'd give him a spin, I met him in Sligo and he did me a turn. I met him (Luke Dempsey) in the car park and said to him that this mare had a great chance with the drying ground. I'm delighted she won. The ground the last day here was tacky and holding. She much prefers good ground especially over the extended trip. She has been very unlucky, she could have won a couple last year. She is more of a summer mare. She handles loose, soft ground but not tacky.

She had a few spins over hurdles and that sharpened her up a little bit. We stepped her up in trip which was a help too.
