Caroline McCaldin said: "I train in Dromara and this is my local track. It is a lovely track, Richard Lyttle and his team are brilliant here. "I think that is five winners under rules now. They are all special because it very rarely happens! "I train 16 and it is a labour of love, it is a hobby and a very expensive. It is a tough game, but it is well worth it. "This was always the aim for him, but we will make a decision (on his next outing) when we get home."
