it was a last minute decision to run her but the beautiful thing about training for Moyglare, is you are allowed to do that and there are no set plans. I’m blessed with owners like that, I wake up and can change my mind and do whatever. Today’s race wasn’t the plan and she hasn’t worked since Cork but we were watching entries so I just threw her in. I thought it got to her today, so we’ll give her a wee break and come back for the sponsors race, the Moyglare (Stakes Group 1, September): it’s a race I’d love to put on the CV. We’ve a horse who ran well last night (Justiciar) and this filly, so have a nice bunch of horses heading that route. Colin said in Cork that Suzie Songs wanted further and sticking to the original plan, her next race would have been over seven (furlongs) but this presented itself during the week with few entries, so here we are.

Charasson ran a very promising race the first day when she was a bit slow away, but came on oodles and behaved impeccably today. She’s a sister to Ano Syra, who was a brilliant little mare for us and was a real flagbearer. Hopefully this one will progress and keep up the family tradition. She’s only finding her feet and would have learned a lot today. If she gets more professional she’ll get better. It’s nice to get a winner on Derby weekend and I was delighted.
