That wasn't unexpected, her work's been lovely. We got her off Paddy Turley who does a very good job with his breezers and his point-to-pointers. She came highly recommended and she's done nothing but please us since we got her. I'm delighted to win for the people involved. Obviously they're a big syndicate and it's great to get off the mark with the first horse we've had for them. They under-bid me at the sales for her and came in on her, because she was probably good value and she looks good value now anyway. She'll probably go to Gowran in a couple of weeks for a Listed mares' bumper if she come out of this all in one piece and the ground's not too bad. Diamond Boys handle soft ground but she has no bother with nice ground. She's pretty decent so I'd say she'll handle most types of ground. John C McConnell, trainer
