She is some mare. That's what we wanted this season, it's her last season and we wanted to win on the racetrack. At the end of the season she will go on the track again to finish up,. She is a very quirky mare, but for some reason she was very quiet today. It was touch and go whether I'd declared her, but I thought that she is as good as any of them, so I just declared her. She would much prefer quick ground, but as she has got older she has learned to handle that ground. Richie said she heard the other horse coming before he did. She battled all the way to the line then. We got a great buzz last year with her being joint champion mare (with Carrigeen Acebo). She will tip away now, and might run in a mares Open at Lisronagh in ten days time. She won there last year. We will leave her off then until the new year. She has always been a bit better left-handed and I thought this track would suit her. D M Christie, trainer
