Curragh Sat, 12th Aug, 2023  A Lilac Rolla She probably learned a lot the first day. The trainer was a bit worried about the seven furlongs but the owner assured me that the dam had won over ten and the jockey said she got it well. She hasn't done a lot since the last day. The plan had been the sales race on Champions Weekend and I figured more experience was no harm for that. I thought that giving 7lb to talented unraced fillies was a big ask for her. I thought you'd have to be stakes level to do it and I hope she is now. Her plans might get upgraded. It's a 300 grand race but black-type is forever if she can get it.

Cork Fri, 28th Jul, 2023  A Lilac Rolla I thought she was ready to run today and she just missed the kick and just went through the gears,. Being by Harry Angel that's why I wanted to start her at six (furlongs) but I'd say she will be able to step up in distance and she is a lovely mover. She came from Fairyhouse (sales) and there is a E300,000 sales race for her on Champions Weekend at the Curragh so we will aim for that.
