After race at Gowran Park Fri, 3rd Oct, 2025 (1st)

It was great. She stayed at it well, Aidan said the race fell apart a bit. It’s great to get a winner, she’s a home-bred of Noreen’s (McManus). It’s always nice when the fillies win. She just about got away with the ground, I’d say. We’ll see what the handicapper does and look for something similar. This (William Hill) series is a great incentive, so fair play to them. It’s nice to get one on the board in it anyway.
