After race at Dundalk Wed, 2nd Dec, 2020 (1st)

She got badly hampered the last day, turning in, when we thought she had a chance,. We had to freshen her up and change things around. She's probably back down to a nice winning mark too. Joey gave her a fine ride and a lot of the credit has to go to my girlfriend Sarah (Dixon) as she does a lot of work helping me with the horses, there is just the two of us. She is her pride and joy and she rides her every day. Going to the beach has freshened her up as well, it's something different. She's as fit as a flee. We're looking forward to what happens next now. We'll have to see what the handicapper gives her but we got the win out of her now anyway and that's all that matters.
