After race at Curragh Sun, 27th Jun, 2021 (1st) 
She's a great mare, she's very tough and every time you ask her a question she rises to the occasion. She's never run a bad race really and I'm delighted for Shapoor Mistry, the owner. I'm very proud of her. She always has a bit of a look around when she goes to the front and she did that again today but when the other one came to her she really fought back. Broome just nabbed her here one day on the line but she had an opportunity to fight back today and she did that. In America she would have won in another stride, the tight track caught her out a little bit as it was her first time around the bends over there. She had to spend a week after the race over there so she's only been back a couple of weeks. She trained there for a week, then shipped straight back and came straight here. She has a great constitution. She has options back in America, like the Beverly D, and she also has the likes of the Nassau and Matron. She's a Group 1 winner now so she's a very exciting broodmare prospect no matter what happens. Shane deserved that because over the last couple of days a few things didn't go well for him. That's the way it goes in racing and you just have to remain confident and keep doing what you are doing. That's what he's done and he was rewarded.

She’s improving. She toughed it out well the last time in Leopardstown and is getting bigger and stronger all the time. She loves that ground.

She had a good run the last day. She's straight forward and quickened up well. She seemed to be in control most of the way and is progressive. We'll try to get some black type with her and she will stay further. She won with an ease in Galway so she is versatile in terms of ground.

Shane said she was never going but she has won with her ears pricked. When she turned in he said she went one way and then the other but once the penny drops with her she might be ok,. She is tough and will probably end up being a 1m4f filly. I don't know the strength of the race but she toughed it out with her ears pricked. The other filly (fourth placed Blackcatblackitten) ran on well too and they actually ran together the last day too and finished about the same distance apart. They are two nice fillies going forwards.
