After race at Navan Sun, 22nd Apr, 2018 (1st)

She’s come on a nice bit from Naas and Denis said she got a bit stuck in the ground there. She appreciated the bit better ground today and she had good form here being second in a Listed race last year. The main plan is trying to win a Listed race this year. When I looked at the last race it’s not going to be easy as the Listed races in Ireland are very competitive. There is a race in Naas for her in a couple of weeks and we’ll probably let her go there. We’d love to think that she could win a Listed race as she’d be a very valuable broodmare in time. I thought the second was coming to win but Denis said when it got to him she got going again. She did prick her ears a bit in front but she’s been like that from day one. She’s very straightforward, tough, hardy, small, genuine and please God one day she could breed a good one.
