We’re in Naas tomorrow for what should be a good day’s racing. We have one in the 2nd race, the 6f fillies maiden. She is only the second horse to start her career with us. It’s a different proposition and hopefully something we can look forward to doing a bit more of. The older horses have been fantastic but developing youngsters needs to be a bigger part of what we’re doing this season. Anyway, Maymine is a lovely daughter of Mayson that we have had since the middle of January. She is a pleasure to have around the place, a real teacher’s pet. She has a beautiful temperament, eats, sleeps, canters and would do anything you ask of her. She’ll need time to find a rhythm. If the penny drops and she travels amongst horses and finishes out her race, I’ll be pleased. Mayson wouldn’t be that common over here but he’s a solid, commercial sire across the water whose progeny sometimes handle testing ground. Our last visit to Naas was an enjoyable one. If this lady has a good experience and runs with promise we’ll enjoy this one.
