Dream brings further joy for connections

Sun 20th Mar
We went with a plan last week (against Foxrock) to track him and stay away from him. They people said afterwards 'why didn't you make use of your weight advantage?' but sure there is no way to beat a 160-rated horse. You are never going to be right,. They only crawled at Gowran and really only sprinted over the last three. She is actually in better shape probably today than before Gowran Park. She's the kind of mare that if you leave her off she stops eating so she can go back-to-back no bother. There's no hassle there. But I was impressed with her today the way she went away from the last. I'm delighted for her as this is her final season. She is going to a stallion. It's great to get this under her belt. She's probably the hardiest one I've ever trained. She might go for the Joseph O'Reilly. I'd be wary of Aintree as she is coming to the end of her career but we'll see.

She is some mare. That's what we wanted this season, it's her last season and we wanted to win on the racetrack. At the end of the season she will go on the track again to finish up,. She is a very quirky mare, but for some reason she was very quiet today. It was touch and go whether I'd declared her, but I thought that she is as good as any of them, so I just declared her. She would much prefer quick ground, but as she has got older she has learned to handle that ground. Richie said she heard the other horse coming before he did. She battled all the way to the line then. We got a great buzz last year with her being joint champion mare (with Carrigeen Acebo). She will tip away now, and might run in a mares Open at Lisronagh in ten days time. She won there last year. We will leave her off then until the new year. She has always been a bit better left-handed and I thought this track would suit her.
