After race at Limerick Sun, 16th Mar, 2014 (1st)

The reason she was beaten the last time was my fault. I told Paul (Townend) to force the pace and it killed her on bottomless tacky ground. I wasn't going to run her until four or five days ago when she started to show me a little bit at home. Davy Condon spoke to Paul on the phone for instructions. We were in unbelievable trouble at the top, but they went a very strong gallop at the front. Over a trip and nicer ground there might be a nice handicap for her. It's my first Graded win and that's grand now for when she goes to stud. I wish her brother (Golantilla) had run better at Cheltenham!

She was entitled to win there on her form, and she'll stay over fences now. She will go for those Graded mares races along the line, and it's another nice boost for the pedigree.

my dad (also Sean) passed away last month but would have been delighted to see her win as he bred her. Her winning is a good distraction for us at the moment. she is a good tough mare but I was very concerned about the ground. She has won on heavy ground but today's ground is horrendous and I was going to run her at Fairyhouse on Tuesday instead. She won her point to point on good ground so she'd have no bother on better ground. We'll keep her in mares races for now and she'll stay down this side of the country . away from Willie Mullins if possible!

my father bred Caoimhe's Delight and it makes things harder as we buried him just over a week ago. she was always a very useful mare but we had a torrid time last year with a virus and even when she won her point to point, she wasn't right. When she got beaten in Tipperary she was left in front and she idles when she gets there . even today she was pulling up a bit. She wants a true run race and will be a lovely mare over jumps. Conor O'Dwyer was down looking at her half brother earlier today and he runs in a maiden at Dromahane this weekend - but his price has just gone up!
