HAVING headed to Australia for a month’s holiday immediately after Christmas, Wexford event rider Lucy Latta missed seeing Small Farm, the first racehorse she has bred, win on his hurdling debut at Limerick last Saturday.

The 2012 Westerner gelding is out of the point-to-point winner Eastertide who was gifted to Lucy by her maternal grandfather Bill Powell-Harris who had already bred four foals out of the now deceased 1996 daughter of Alphabatim.
