After race at Tramore Thu, 15th Oct, 2020 (1st) 
Eventually she got there. She put in a nice run down in Listowel but it has taken her a long time to come right and get handicapped and get her jumping together. She put it all together today and the cheek-pieces just helped her. We went three miles with her before and we came back from that, so two and a half to two mile five seems to be her optimum trip at the moment. She'll mature and get stronger and probably stay further in time. She is probably not going to be a winter mare but we will probably have next summer with her.
