Just had to tell you about this special little bitch I own:


Joaldy finally broke her maiden status at her 8th start today at Mt Gambier! She had her first two starts with me in NSW, ran 3rd at her first start from box 5 after leading all the way, then fell at her next start at bathurst which saw her career temporarily ended for over 5 mths due to a ruptured wrist and ruptured shoulder muscle, so bad that the vet recommended the owner and myself to have her put down.
Before I moved to Victoria I sent her down along with bluesky libby and a few youngsters to a trainer as I had my hands full with moving.
However Joaldy is really a woman's dog, she couldn't fire for the trainer and lost her form.
I got her back 2 mths ago and brought her along slowly, had her first start for me at Bendigo, started from box 5 over the unsuitable 430m and led all the way, only just run down 1 metre before the winning post, beaten a close 3rd lol
Then next start at Horsham, box 2, I decided not to give her a stir up before the race, big mistake, she missed the jump and flopped to last place.
So today, I gave her a stir up at the track, she pinged to the lead and won easily!!

Yay! What a brave brave lassie! To come back from such a career threatening injury makes me just so proud of her.
