Joey gave her a very cool ride. He’s obviously a talented young guy on the way up and I’ve been hearing nothing only good word about him.

King's Theatre mares, they're not making them any more unfortunately!. I think the ground was plenty quick for her and I was doing my best not to get her off the bridle for as long as I could. She travelled very well but didn't let down on the ground and I wouldn't be afraid to come back in trip. More give in the ground would also see her in a better light. She has Listed-placed black-type in bumpers and it would be great to get it on the flat too. I'm sure she'd also jump a hurdle in time too as she has schooled. Softer ground is what she needs.

Even though she is a six-year-old she had done very little. She was backward enough, so what she did today was on natural ability and we think she will improve. She was very green on all the turns and when Patrick got stuck into her.
