her husband Donald left her in about '93. I had plenty of jockey bookings from her and met her a few times at the tracks. She's a top woman imo.I was delighted to see her today in apparent good health.

ask her good friend gary wiltshire, he might just give you a truthful account! her training of fourwalk was a master-piece and she knew the time of day, especially at five in the morning. |
