After race at Clonmel Thu, 9th May, 2013 (1st)

I've had her dam, grand-dam and maybe even the great grand-dam! I don't like to think that far back though!. that's a big surprise but I've not been training her the right way! Very light training seems to suit and previously we were working her too strenuously.
