"You need to hold her up but she is a game little mare. You don't get many mares that honest," suggested winning trainer Paddy Mooney, after Colla Pier won her second race at Fairyhouse, in the Jury's Inn Cheltenham Handicap Hurdle.
The daughter of Hawk Wing landed an apprentice handicap here on the level in May 2014.
Under Robbie Dunne she may have found herself some way from the other runners pre-race but once the action hotted-up in the straight she went into over-drive to Seeyouallincoppers by all of seven lengths.
"She may stick to hurdles now although she could do with a break. She needs that ground. The owner is Robbie's brother David, and he rode in point-to-points," added Mooney.
