After race at Curragh Sat, 22nd May, 2021 (1st) 
She just got into a lovely rhythm there,. There were only six runners and we could see there was probably going to be no pace in the race. We wanted to try and take the pace out of the Group 1 filly and not to leave anything for her. That's a tough mile today. I was a bit nervous yesterday morning when I saw the lads walking the track but the Curragh is the most drying plain in the country so I never had any worry that it wasn't going to be run. It's fantastic for owner Renzo Forni who has been a fantastic supporter of me since Joanna Morgan retired. I've nothing at the minute target wise and we'll see.

I thought she was a decent filly last year and she ran a cracking race in Leopardstown. It’s taken her a while to get going but she loves it here. She’s progressing well and they went a proper gallop. Billy said she was just behind the bit lovely all the way, and when he asked her she was always going to respond. He said she did it snugly in the end. I delighted for the owner/breeders Renzo Forni and his daughter Raffaello. That’s the fourth of that family that have won for me and the three fillies have all got black type. She had a little niggle earlier in the year that we have sorted out and she’s coming on the whole time. She’s a lovely scopey filly and goes on any ground.

She deserved that. She's a grand filly and it's great for Renzo Forni, that's the fourth one of the family I've trained and they've all won for me,. The other two fillies were black-type so if we could try and get this one some black-type before the end of the year as well it would be brilliant. I was trying to be greedy at the start of the year a couple of times but finally she's won and I'm delighted. She's still learning the trade. Billy was happy with her there, he said she galloped all the way to the line and liked that ground so we won't be too worried about the end of the year with her. I think she has enough experience now so we'd only be wasting her in a winners race and might try and nab some black-type wherever we can. She's had three hard races in the last three or four weeks so I won't be too greedy now.
