After race at Leopardstown Thu, 18th Jul, 2013 (1st)

She's a lazy little one, but once she got in amongst them she got interested.

A P O'Brien

After race at Dundalk Fri, 15th Feb, 2013 (1st)

They went very fast. I'm delighted, that filly is trying to win a race for a long time. It's a great facility here and it's always very special when one of your own wins their first race.

A P O'Brien

After race at Ballinrobe Mon, 8th Aug, 2011 (1st)

She didn't handle the track at Galway or at Tramore (earlier in season),. She travelled sweetly today and did it well.
