Uhavemeinstitches has a serious chasing pedigree
It's great to get a winner, it's been a while since we had one. Mark gave her a lovely ride. He said they went very quick in front and he felt it just fell apart. . She is a nice mare going forward. She is a little bit babyish and made one or two novicey mistakes, which I didn't think she would, but I suppose they were going a good speed and it was her first time over fences. . It was a race for horses rated 120 or less over hurdles, so a lot of the higher class horses were ruled out. We'll have to see where she fits in as the season goes on. . She is a nice filly to have and it's great to have a winner for JP. . She has a lot of similarities (to her dam). She's a lot slicker over hurdles than her dam was. She is designed to be a chasing filly and the family does get further. Around here is a quick two-and-a-half and you'd like to think a bigger galloping track would suit her. . We don't want to be getting too carried away because it's the start of the season and there is a lot of good horses to come out yet. We'll have a look at what's coming up and have a chat with Frank (Berry). . We just wanted to get today out of the way and get the experience into her.

She ran well in maidens but then disappointed and she's not the most straightforward filly to train. She has her issues, but when things are right, she's right. . I thought dropping back in grade today to a 0 to 100 that it would have to give her a chance and I didn't mind not claiming off of her for that reason. . I actually have to apologise to Alex Harvey because I was sure he was in Galway. Alex normally rides her but I put down Sean as he rides out at home as well. It was my fault, but Alex will be on her another day. . She's out of this grade now but she'll go for something similar and I hope the ground doesn't get too soft. . Gerard Berkery is from Tipperary but he had a horse at home I'd say around 15 years ago. We knew him from before and he rang me back at the start of the season asking would we take this filly. . It's great that it has worked out and she will go breeding eventually. Hopefully we can get another win into her.

Ballymoreen upsets Mullins' hotpot in Wexford bumper
She is a lovely mare to ride and is well balanced. She's a dream to ride at home and is a lovely mare to do anything with. . We knew that there was a big run in her and she pulled it off today, she battled. Any day you beat one of Willie's, you know you have something! . She ran well the first day at Thurles when she was with Tim Cleary and we didn't make enough use of her the last day in Fairyhouse. . The owners are Tipperary boys and it's great to see anyone who breeds a horse put them in training. They have something nice to go forward with now. . I'll talk to the owners, but she'll probably go over hurdles. She is a proper hurdling mare and is tough. She is a big mare and we'll give her a chance now and see what happens after that.
