After race at Downpatrick Sun, 10th Aug, 2014 (1st) 
She was down too long at the start at Sligo. Once she jumped off today she was always going to win. This has been a wild lucky track for me.

After race at Downpatrick Sun, 15th Jun, 2014 (1st)
On her first run for me she ran well in a race here last time won by a horse that was better than the type of race. You've to talk nice to her! I thought if she repeated that run she would have a chance. She'll maybe got to Tramore as she doesn't like the stalls or there's a Sligo mares winners race or another race back here next time.
