Keane gets it just right off front end on Wendla in Group Three

She's a lovely honest filly. The ground comes all the same to her, she's handled heavy and she handled that,. She's a light filly so I didn't have any doubts she'd handle that. I probably had her wrong and Colin had her right. I thought the way the race was run it wasn't going to suit as it turned into a sprint, she's pacier than I gave her credit for. I had her down as a horse, going forward, that would go further sooner rather than later. Colin has her as having more speed than I gave her credit for, thankfully he was right. He was in the right place on her and she answered and did it well. You couldn't knock the performance. When you get those fillies you try and win a maiden to tick the first box and then you are looking for black-type and winning black-type is brilliant. I just thought we were going too slow, they were doing 14 seconds fractions and that's too slow. I was thinking we're in trouble and that speed is just going to go past us. Thankfully I was wrong about my filly, she's quicker than I gave her credit for.

Bold Discovery goes up a notch for Amethyst win

We’re delighted with that, he’s a horse that’s always promised an awful lot and we’ve held him in very high regard,. He had an allergy issue last year, it turned out he was allergic to grass. When he got his good to firm ground in the Curragh he was very good. We went hunting a bit afterwards with him but we never got our ground. Fair play to Marc (Chan, owner) and Jamie McCalmont as they said ‘why don’t we geld him?’ and we actually did a kissing spine operation on him as well. He was only just ready to start there today and I think we should have a really exciting season ahead with him. We’ll go to Royal Ascot next with him for the Wolferton Stakes. We didn’t put him in the Queen Anne. I wasn’t too bothered if we did finish second today as then he wouldn’t have had a penalty for Ascot but now he will!

Mullins dreaming of Oaks glory with Lilas

Jim was very impressed with our filly. He thinks a lot of his filly and he thought our filly could go places. Galway is a hard place to start off a two-year-old but I wanted to get a run into her before the end of the season just to teach her something. Looking at the Guineas in England maybe I should have been going on the all-weather!. We were happy enough to wait for here, I was a little bit concerned about the ground but Colin said she flew on it. She was only getting going at the line, she went the whole way around to the mile-and-a-quarter start again. She wouldn't have had any ground like that at home and it was a learning day for her. . She has a pedigree that could be anything and we'll just keep our options open. It's easier to be in it rather than trying to get in at a late stage. We'd love to think that she's good enough to be a contender in that.
