Black-type Mare back in winning form

26 February 2016

Black-type mare Miss Alice (Pins) bounced back to impressive best at Southland last weekend, beating all in the GJ Gardner Homes Southland Stakes over 1400m.

Trained by John and Karen Parsons, Miss Alice is the winner of seven races, with her leading win coming in this season’s Gr.3 Canterbury Breeders Stakes.
