After race at Tramore Thu, 17th Oct, 2019 (1st)

She was green the last day and hit a flat spot but was hitting the line in Listowel as the penny dropped half-way up the straight. She really knew her job today,. We might consider a little bit of black type with her now but we are going to have to step up again. She could go for the mares’ race in Navan. Maxine gave her a lovely ride and said she loved the soft ground.
