I know the family well and have a good few of the relations at home. Dad has her brother Linus Larrabee and there is a full sister to come to me later in the year so I'm delighted. She was a little weak last year but has strengthened up, is learning and hopefully we'll have a bit of fun with her. I have really cut down my numbers and last year I was giving everything multiple chances. Even bringing a box of them up here costs a fortune and I believe in being honest with the owners and I don't want to be a busy fool. I said if they weren't going to be competitive I don't need them and I put a lot of work into rehoming them. I've found many nice homes, and while some are nice pets, I've sent horses to polo-crosse and others are now jumping poles, so it is worth the effort. I have eight riding out, would love a few more but nice horses bring each other on and if they were all like this filly I'd be happy enough.

I'm delighted for (owner/breeder) Maurice Regan and all the Newtown Anner team. She has been promising that, has been black-type placed before but getting this win was most important, which we knew she would this season as she has strengthened up big time. She is not ground-dependent, has really appreciated stepping up in trip to 1m4f, albeit she ran a cracker over 1m2f last time and we'll have fun in those races. She has improved with age and hopefully will improve again next year. She could eventually run in those Cup races but we'll get her home now and make a plan. Maurice is a great supporter of ours, has a good band of mares as well so this is most important and is a prestigious race to win.
