After race at Leopardstown Sat, 10th Sep, 2016 (1st)

It couldn't have worked out better,. We were drawn wide and I said to Billy to sacrifice the ground as I had walked the track and the ground was way better out there. The two Group 1 horses came up that ground and if it was good enough for them I said we'd come up it too. Billy gave her a lovely ride and she ran all the way to the line. She has a bit of black-type and is in the sales at the end of the year. She has run in this the last two years and was a bit unlucky when fourth last year. It's great for Garrett and Anne Freyne and an important win for them. They've been very loyal owners.

W McCreery

After race at Curragh Sat, 27th Jun, 2015 (1st)

She's an honest little filly. She ran a blinder the last day and may have got there a bit early but she was travelling so well that Connor didn't have much option. She's a little fighter, although I suppose we were lucky it wasn't seven furlongs and 50 yards! I'd love to win a Listed race with her and she always tries her heart out.

W McCreery

After race at Tipperary Thu, 9th Apr, 2015 (1st)

She ran a good race recently in the Lincoln, on worse ground, and has now won at two, three and four,. There were only two entries for this at ten to ten yesterday morning so we decided to run and try to 'sniper it,' she is very honest and I didn't want her to get into a battle as she battles without getting hit.

W McCreery

After race at Killarney Tue, 13th May, 2014 (1st)

She was entitled to win and the 5lb claim was crucial. She's very honest and she zipped round the corners. She got a good ride and he got a few lengths turning in. I don't think there's anything for her soon.

W McCreery

After race at Galway Mon, 9th Sep, 2013 (1st)

It was a workmanlike performance and she needed it (her first start since the middle of July).
