After race at Ballinrobe Mon, 28th May, 2018 (1st)  She was third in Clonmel on her second last run - on the Flat - and we just thought she was a bit lazy,. We put cheek-pieces on her then for the last day and they drove her through the clouds. We took them off for today and that's the way to ride her - from behind. She loves that ground and I bought her from Pat Tallis as I was short of horses at the time about a year and a half ago. She's a nice summer mare and the ground was just lovely for her there. I picked up the Racing Post this morning and they had me on the cold list - I said by God I better get off that! John W Nicholson

After race at Thurles Thu, 26th Oct, 2017 (1st)  We were beaten a nose yesterday (with Nora Batt at Navan) and I was sure she (Turasoir) was beaten again. I bought her last year from Pat Tallis and I'll have to give him a few quid now as that was the deal we've done, so I owe him a few pounds now!. She's a lovely mare and we've had great fun with her and Paul Cawley comes and rides out one day a week with me and I'm delighted for him. It's his first winner for me and he is a nice chap but weight is his problem. She has a good pedigree and we'll go to Dundalk during the winter. John W Nicholson
