After race at Dundalk Fri, 18th Oct, 2013 (1st)

She's hard work but did run well at the Curragh the other day. They went quick which suited her as she's a slow sprinter. She may run again at Navan next Wednesday.

Patrick Martin

After race at Fairyhouse Wed, 6th Jun, 2012 (1st)

the last few times we've been riding her for too much speed and the extra furlong helped her - that win will give her a nice bit of confidence, as she hasn't won since she was a two year old.

Patrick Martin

After race at Dundalk Sun, 3rd Oct, 2010 (1st)

She was unlucky the last day. It was nice to get compensation today. She'll go for the Birdcatcher next at Naas on grass. It should suit her very well. She's very versatile but a bit highly strung. I was surprised she was as quick over five furlongs last time but the six furlongs today was perfect.

Patrick Martin

After race at Curragh Sun, 12th Sep, 2010 (1st)

She deserved that as she has got there too early before. She is very effective on the ground and she will stick to six furlongs now. She has an engine though running back quick was a concern. She is from the same family as Indiana Gal though she is not as good as her.
