Adam said she gave him everything. She's never had a gallop since she ran here the last day, we just keep her sweet, keep her in and out and let her enjoy it. She's just flying, but we don't gallop this filly at all. I was going to work her last week, and they said don't work her so we didn't. In all fairness, she has run well fresh and she has just been a revelation. Adam was brilliant on her. We'll have to give her a little bit of a breather, I could do with a breather myself!. We will have a look at something on Good Friday. I don't know what he (handicapper) is going to give her on the grass either. It could be interesting to see what sort of mark he'll give her - I doubt he'll leave her in the low 40s!. I think the fillies' race in Newcastle is definitely worth looking at. Hodd's Girl was third in it, and we get good money in it. You are looking at 60 or 70 thousand to the winner. Great prize money there. I know the Curragh are supposed to have racing on Good Friday this year too, they have promised a lot of money as well so we'll see. We'll definitely be looking to stay with the all-weather.

The handicapper put us up 2lb (to 68) for finishing second last Friday and while I hadn’t intended on running today, she ran so well that I decided to run her again. He is going to hammer her again now but I said to Claire (Wylie, part owner) 'this could be a Newcastle horse'. She is going to get a right hike for winning today, but that mares' race on Good Friday has great prize money and it took only a 60-rated filly to win it last year. That race is a handicap and she could squeak in off the bottom. She is well able to travel and as Adam said, the better horses took her into the race more. We'll have to see what Mark (Bird) and Gary (O'Gorman, handicappers) do first and then we'll see. There's a good €25,000 seven furlong-handicap up here in a few weeks so we might have a look at that.

That's the key to those type of horses, they stay in the same grade and they have a chance. I had her for a couple of runs and then she was claimed. We got her back and she has definitely turned inside out since she came back. She was probably a little unlucky not to win the first night (when runner-up here). That's the third run now in the space of less than two weeks, so we might bring her back here this side of Christmas for a pot. I'll see what Garry (O'Gorman, handicapper) does to her. I certainly don't think he will leave me in there (60 grade)! I think she will have no problem in a 0-70 or even moving up in grade. She has definitely improved, that's for sure.

She did it quite nicely and she has been in good form since her last race at the Curragh. Unfortunately in the Curragh the ground went a bit against her - over six and a-half furlongs on softish ground did stretch her a bit. The showers prior to the race ruined her chance. It is a filly that keeps improving and has a lovely attitude and is very laid-back at home. She does everything very nicely in her work. It is a filly that could possibly pick up some black-type here in Ireland. She would need fast ground and we might look for a Listed race here.
