He gave her a very good ride as they went a right clip.

W McCreery

After race at Curragh Mon, 6th May, 2013 (1st)

I thought the ground might be a bit dead for her but she is an honest filly. She will go for a fillies handicap next at Navan on the 19th (of May). Pat (owner/breeder Peat Cosgrove) actually bought her as a companion for another horse he has with me, Kanes Pass.

W McCreery

After race at Navan Wed, 24th Oct, 2012 (1st)

Valbucca loves that ground and while it has taken a long time to win one, she has been very consistent and has only been out of the placings once or twice. She deserves that and it's a nice pot. She was bought as a companion for Kanes Pass by her owner Betty Cosgrove, who has been very loyal and patient.
