After race at Tipperary Thu, 30th Jun, 2022 (1st)

She was unlucky the last day when she ran into trouble and Harry gave her a great ride today and she settled in. We had another horse in the race and said we'd claim from her and Harry had ridden her in bumpers and knew her. She is free, he settled her and he was very good. He is top class and is a jockey in the making.
