AS owner/trainer of six-time winner Colla Pier, I have enjoyed some great days over the last four years. Due to a lot of problems I picked the mare up for nothing, yet she has now won over €111,000 in prize money and been placed in both listed and Grade 3 class, as well as finishing fourth in a Grade 1.

I grew up going racing at Bellewstown which is closest to us here at home.
