After race at Leopardstown Thu, 6th Aug, 2020 (1st)
She's hard work and we put a visor on her today. I don't know what happened on her last run but she loves that quick ground and she loves Leopardstown. She's slipped down a few pounds and was not winning out of turn. She's hard to tack up and is not easy before racing. She's a typical mare and just gets a bit uptight in the ring. Wayne said they went a good even gallop and he was able to dictate a bit and kick off the bend. She stuck at it well. We'll find something similar for her in a couple of weeks' time.

After race at Bellewstown Wed, 3rd Jul, 2019 (1st)
we weren’t going to come here as we thought the track wouldn’t suit her, and she’s going to Roscommon on Monday for a fillies handicap. The ground is the key to her as she needs fast ground. She’d slipped down the ratings a bit but had come back into form. Hopefully he won’t be too hard on her, and she might go for a 0-75 in Galway as well.
