Roscommon Tue, 4th Aug, 2026  She'll Be Kept Her wind’s not brilliant and she needs a little chance to breathe early and find her feet. Once she gets that, and her confidence is up, she seems to be going the right way. It was a fortnight since her last run so we might give her a little chance now. We’re absolutely delighted and I’m delighted for Alex Ryan, who went out on a limb to buy her and it’s paid off.

Ballinrobe Tue, 21st Jul, 2026  She'll Be Kept Winners have been scarce, so it was hard to be confident, but I was hopeful because she ran well at Limerick the last day on what was just her second run for us,. She stumbled coming down the hill there and, by the time she got organised, the bird had flown, but she kept galloping through the line which always gives you hope. She's honest, doesn't make a fuss about anything and gives you all she has. The horses have been running to their ability, and we had a young horse run well to be fourth in the first division. Phillip knew there'd be a dash on early to get out wide for the better ground, and he just took his time out there behind them. He says a summer fence will be within her compass, but we'll see how the handicapper reacts to this first of all. She's not rated high enough for anything at Galway, but I hope to have four or five runners there.
