I think she should have won in Galway. She got knocked over and she was nearly on the floor but she finished out the race strongly. I fancied her today but I was a bit worried that it might be a bit quick for her. Bellewstown did a hell of job, it's lovely safe ground. My one tries hard and it is lovely to have a winner for Ballylinch Stud.
