After race at Dundalk Wed, 20th Jan, 2021 (1st)

It’s lovely to get a winning bracket for her. Shane kept it very simple on her and she’s very game and genuine. They didn’t go much of a gallop and she stuck at it well. When the other horse came to challenge her, she picked up again. She’s a lovely kind filly to train and she has a big heart. It’s our first winner for Ballylinch and I’ll talk to John O’Connor to see what they want to do. I feel there is more to come from her and she could be a nice filly to go handicapping with over the summer on grass. She still has a bit of strengthening to do. She gets that trip well and will probably get further if needed.
