I knew there'd be no pace in the race as they were all flat mares and I told Kevin (Sexton) to let her bowl along in front if she was happy to do so. That's her trip, she had a light weight today and she'll have a rest now as she'll be in season for Galway. it was like a disco at Kilbeggan and she blew the top when we were walking her up past the bandstand on the way to the parade ring. To me there is no sense in that and you go racing to go racing. John W Nicholson, trainer
