RESULT! Well done dark horse Nina Carberry after the Ratoath native danced the quickstep with pro partner Pasquale La Rocca to KT Tunstall’s Black Horse and the Cherry Tree and lunged to the front on Dancing With The Stars last Sunday night.

The pair scored a Grade 1 19 points which meant Nina topped the leaderboard for the opening night and is now available at 5/2 from 7/2 with BoyleSports to go all the way and be crowned the queen of the dancefloor.

Twirls

Despite her reservations before the show, Nina could not have timed her run/twirls better with the poise and balance we in racing could have given everyone the tip off about.

The only criticism from the judges was to “relax the shoulders” and enjoy the show. In the bag, Nina!

The public vote is open after the third week of the show’s broadcast. Don’t forget to vote – we need more racing, dancing queens of the turf.
