It means the world to win with a homebred filly, and we’ve had this family for four or five generations. She was very unlucky at Limerick where she had a hard fall, and I think in Roscommon she was jumping big and slow and needed confidence. We freshened her up and thought she was in good form coming here today in her first handicap. She won her point-to-point and three miles is no problem to her. She missed a few down the back when they really started racing, but she’s tough and keeps galloping. She wants good ground, and we might bring her over to Perth if we have to.
