After race at Ballinrobe Tue, 23rd Sep, 2014 (1st)

This is my second winner and my first was here exactly three years ago today! Melbourne Lady is the only horse I had in training during the summer but had four or five last winter and have a few young ones now. This means everything to me and she has come on very well on her last few starts. I imagine she'll go handicapping next.
