She did what Ruby (Walsh, the winning rider) asked her and when push came to shove she still had plenty left in the tank. She pinged the last, not like here last year, and as we would never have minded taking on the best over two miles with her, we knew she wouldn't be found wanting for a change of gear. She won three on the flat before she ever came to me. She's a real good mare and she showed that today. It was a fantastic performance and a great ride by Ruby too. She came in season last week but she came out of it quick enough. She's just got tremendous ability. As regards next year I have no problem taking on Big Buck's if he gets an entry in the mares hurdle!
