Tipperary Wed, 14th May, 2025  Eastern Wind She was getting the hang of it as she went on and jumped slick over the last couple. Darragh said the quicker they went, the better she jumped. She probably idled a bit in front going up to the line. She goes on any kind of ground, and we’ll have plenty of fun with her over the summer. She’ll mix it with Flat and hurdles. It was great to win over a mile and a half (in Bellewstown) the last day which opens up more options for her.

Bellewstown Sat, 5th Apr, 2025  Eastern Wind I had her in the mile race and I was looking at the entries and I said a small field in this mile and a-half might be worth having a go, so I took her out of the mile and switched into this. She ran in a hurdle race there about five or six weeks ago in Navan and she was grinding it out well in heavy ground. From that point of view, I thought there was a good chance she would get the trip. She's down to a lovely mark and we will mess around over hurdles with her as well over the summer. She was running a lovely race in Navan and unfortunately got brought down. That gives us more options and hopefully she will be a bit of fun through the summer. She will go on any ground as well. It is good to get off the cold list as well. We had a very good year last year; we had 17 winners between everything up until the end of November. With the horse we have, they are going to reach their ceiling.
