THE reserve champion filly of the show came from the two-year-old divisions. This was William Little’s home-bred, My Valleys Diamond, a winner of her well-supported, 18-entry class on Thursday, before returning for the filly judging on Friday afternoon with handler Shirley Hurst.

Placing second in the two-year-old filly class was another home-bred, that of the Newells’ Kilcahill Ruby, who later went on to be reserve champion traditionally-bred horse.
