THE trade papers have recently been more pro-active in their attempts to have the efforts of stable lads and lasses become more appreciated.

Particular credit this week should go to Dermot Weld stable and the lad who looks after Sunday’s Curragh winner Rose De Pierre. The filly supported an attractive rose stencil on her quarters that made her favourite for the best turned out race as well as the race itself and she was a credit to the work of her lad Sergy Panenko.
