After race at Dundalk Fri, 4th Jan, 2019 (1st)

Blinkers on first-time because she wandered about a bit the last day. She was a bit unlucky the last day in a maiden when she just bumped into one and wandered about a bit and it cost her second place. . We haven't got her very long and she is improving. She is doing well. I might potentially give her a little break and come back to the turf with her. Martin Hannan (the owner) is just outside Ashbourne, he is a Sligo man and they are the Sligo colours. It is his first winner in those colours. He is away skiing at the minute so he is watching online.
