After race at Thurles Thu, 23rd Nov, 2017 (1st)

In the spring when I was running her (over fences) she was jumping terrible but I did a lot of schooling with her and she got her confidence at Punchestown the other day. She started badly at the beginning but the further she went the more confident she got and it showed today. The fences are nice at Punchestown and are lovely here but I didn't think she'd beat the favourite myself but she is a good mare on her day. She is not really in love with very soft ground but as she has got older she has got stronger. We'll try and get black-type over fences somewhere along the line.

Mrs John Harrington

After race at Punchestown Sun, 15th Nov, 2015 (1st)

It's great she's won as she was just beaten the last day. She's a beautifully bred filly. She may pull out again for the mares listed bumper at Navan although it might come a bit too quick. She loves that ground, that's what she needs. She won well and was doing nothing in front. The owners (the Flyers Syndicate) also have Cailin Annamh and it was a similar syndicate that had Macs Joy. It's great for them. She's a lovely filly and they lease her.
