2009 Trikirk 8 9-10 P J Smullen 11/2 (M J Grassick) (Drawn 14)


She was unlucky in Killarney. She got into all sorts of trouble with Danny (Mullins). She was entitled to win a little race and she'll probably go to Galway now on the Thursday. She loved the ground and Kevin Manning got off her two runs back and told us never to run her on hard ground again. Unfortunately it's not looking like Truckers Delight will get into the Galway Plate. They told me that the cut-off point has never been as high. He is rated 130 and it's looking like he won't get in so I'm raging. The other horse, Luska Lad (Galway Hurdle hopeful) is in serious form. He did a great bit of work in Tipperary and I'm happier now with him than any time since I started training him. I'd be expecting yielding ground by the time Thursday comes around.
