She was a cheap filly at Goffs Horses-In-Training Sale. I bought her and the lads said they would take her - Mark (Devlin, part owner) has been very lucky for me, and Claire (Wylie) as well, they have had good fun involved with Nikki Swango and a few others. They enjoy these nights up here and that is what it is all about. She's in again on Wednesday, but I can't see the handicapper giving her 7lb. If she doesn't get 7lb, she won't run. I'll probably just wait because she will be guaranteed a run again in another race. She could be out of that bracket, but she should be okay. The draw killed her the last day, I think she was just a bit unlucky the last day. She was drawn 17, got caught wide. She has ability and I think she will be a good fun filly for the year. I think we will have five or six here next week and we will just tip away until Christmas. We have a few let off and the staff have done a great job all winter. Last couple of months have been rough with weather and our place is fairly exposed. We have to have a little bit of a breather at some stage. I'm looking forward to Christmas because we won't be that busy over Christmas, thanks be to God.
Adrian McGuinness, trainer
The Raceday Stewards granted a request from Ian O'Connor, trainer of Drish Melody for an additional ten minutes to present his charges for identification by an IHRB Official in accordance with the provisions of Rule 90(i)
Adam Caffrey, rider of Una Matata, trained by Adrian McGuinness, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount hung badly right in the last two furlongs
The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident in the closing stages involving Thompson Gunner, ridden by Eryka Snioch, placed fourth and Una Matata, ridden by Adam Caffrey, placed first, where it appeared interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Eryka Snioch stated that she suffered interference from Una Matata and had to take back. Adam Caffrey stated that his mount hung badly right but that he had made every effort to straighten up. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 0-60
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
