Matt and Candy Girl had a great show this weekend, taking 2nd place in Friday's 1.45M Pearl Stakes and then winning Saturday's 1.50M Defender Challenge Stakes.
Candy was joined at the show by stablemate Daniel, who jumped well in Friday's 1.55M Defender Stakes, for just an unfortunate rail, however jumped a fantastic double clear on Sunday to take 7th in the 1.60M Rolex Grand Prix.
