UPDATE: In my piece on Shattered Love last week I did not give due credit to Irish Cavalier, the eight-time winning half-brother to the mare being featured. He won the Grade 1 Guinness Chase at last year’s Punchestown Festival and the eight-year-old Limetree Stud-bred is sure to add to the more than £220,000 he has already earned.
