After race at Tipperary Mon, 8th Oct, 2018 (1st)

Ground made all the difference and she had been in good form at home all year. I didn't think she'd win a maiden but it was great that she did. When I saw Mary B going I said we are in with a chance and she'd be placed now anyway. We'll talk to Kate (Harrison, owner) but we'll probably have to go for a handicap now anyway. We'll have to run her while the ground is good.
