After race at Listowel Mon, 16th Sep, 2013 (1st) 
I think she is a very good filly and Barry said it was her class that won it for her. She was going away at the line. I've had a few of the family, including Tropical Lake, and that is why I bought her in the first place.

She'll get her holidays now and will have a month to five weeks off. She'll come back around Listowel time and she is a nice mare to look forward too. She will stay hurdling this season and I'm not sure yet what other good mares are around to take her on. She is out of a half-sister to Tropical Lake and it's been a lucky pedigree for me.

She ran in Listowel on terrible ground and all she did was stay on. I was running her over hurdles to keep her for this race. I was very worried about the ground but it all worked out well. I had no confidence. I knew she was well but I couldn't control the ground. She won a point-to-point and I told Johnny to pop her out and be handy. I said to him if she stays there she stays there as I knew she would stay. I said to him don't be trying to come through horses. She has a wonderful pedigree . she'll probably get a break now and start fresh at the end of September.
