THE Wafer family from Carnew won the broodmare championship at the Balmoral Show when it was first re-located to Balmoral Park in 2013. That was with Miss Conci who now shares a paddock with Parkmore Evita, winner of the same title in the P&O Arena on Wednesday morning.

Both mares are by the thoroughbred Ghareeb but the 2016 home-bred winner is out of Parkmore Sunrise (by Coolcorron Cool Diamond). “We had a great season last year with this mare and her filly foal by Robin De La Maison,” said Maurice Wafer. “Hopefully she will qualify again for the breeders’ championship at the RDS. She has been scanned in foal to OBOS Quality.”
