Obviously she is a talented filly but she has just suffered with being in season all summer really. Every time we took her away she was in season and not performing. There is a little bit of temperament to her which when she uses in the right way she is very useful. We would have gone to Ayr on Saturday for a Group 3, and we were just saying how about that for luck with it being called off and now having a Group winner. We'll take that all day long. I'm not sure if she will run again. We were thinking if she nicked a bit of black type we would probably pack her in for the year but Colm said she did that pretty easily and was a bit lonely in front. So we might look for something else yet. K R Burke, trainer
