She had a lovely run in Galway for us but we still didn’t know a whole pile about her coming here. I worked hard to do the weight for this and wouldn’t have done it for any other horse. I’ve worked for Donal for the last five years and he’s a great man to work for. I’m delighted to ride a winner for him. I rode Shu Lewis for my aunt Monica and she was a very good horse to me. I’m from Louth and I’ve done pony club, showjumping and love my hunting. I’ve ridden winners in America as well when I was based in Pennsylvania. We got her in the sales last July, a Shadwell horse out of Mark Johnston’s. She’s been giving us the confidence that she’s been getting better every week. Donal Kinsella, trainer
