We didn't have many runners and we have young horses in the yard. This poor filly should have won at least twice. We just decided we would put her chasing to put a bit of manners on her the last day and she landed on the fourth last below in Wexford. Her jumping today was virtually perfect. Travelled well. We were wondering about the trip, was it a bit short for her? We had 9st 7lb and she's the smallest filly, and I think that helped more than the actual distance. I walked the track last night - I don't know how many other trainers did, but I did. We were happy to run her on it. She did it well. We love her and she has a great pedigree. It is wonderful to win the Boardsmill Stud Mares race because I can safely say, bar the last three years in the last 40, we have supported that place with mares. They are a wonderful stud and wonderful people to deal with. We have about 13 in now. We have a few nice young horses, we are looking forward to it. A few by Poet's Word which we are really excited about. Patrick Downey, trainer
