Joyful 2nd again in an A2 stake (550 yards) to a good dog that they refused 25K for last year - she keeps finding a good AAO dog to beat her in the finals of these stakes although she was closing him down on the run so she looks sure to be good class over 575.
Was in two minds whether to sell her, train her myself from home, or leave her with trainer and decided to keep her with Denis and aim her at all the bitch competitions this year, she probably not quite good enough to win one but certainly good enough to compete in them and who knows she might get lucky in one.
She's certainly as good a bitch as we've had over 4 bends when you consider in her 6th race she has done 30.21 for 550 at Tralee, Droopys Dior did 30.10 at Cork and she was no slug herself.
Joyful is only July 11 so has plenty of racing ahead of her all being well :-)
The Oaks at Shelbourne next is the plan in a couple of weeks and to qualify a few rounds would be nice!
