I don’t know where the money came from for Keskon, it wasn’t my money anyway, and she (Queen Leila) had the better form here and was placed here the last day. We always thought she was a mile horse, we stepped her up today and she did her job. She was second here one day in the past when she ran a clinker but just bumped into one. We said to Shane (Kelly) to jump out today, go handy, and do whatever you want to. She probably stole the race a wee bit. It was a very moderate race, to be fair, it was as moderate as you get around Dundalk at this time of year. If you won a race at all, you almost wouldn't be in this 0-60. She's a very genuine wee filly, put her head down and galloped through the line. If you come to Dundalk, you need something genuine. If you are feeling a joint or sore at all, you'll not gallop through Dundalk. She's as genuine as you get. You will probably see her on the turf through the summer, there will be plenty of days with her. She's no star, but she will win races. Noel C Kelly, trainer
