If you had told me this time last year that I would have ridden in 3 races on 3 of Ireland’s best racetracks I would never have believed it. I would like to thank my husband & family, Jessie & Kate Harrington, Marine Henry, Nicolas Clément, Robert Tyner, AFASEC.

I encourage everyone to put their name down and participate as you can gain a great sense of personal achievement"

The Corinthian challenge allowed me to let a dream become a reality by riding a winner in Gowran last year, a day I will never forget with my kids there. A big thanks also to my employer SoftCo, Gordon Elliott and his owners without them none of this would be possible"
#cc2018
I really enjoyed the series, apart from the opportunity of riding around the likes of The Curragh, Gowran and Leopardstown which in itself was more than memorable, I found the whole race day experience to be fantastic. To be honest, I would do it again in a heartbeat.
