Tess was a Melbourne Royal Class Winner in extremely strong competition - class of 30
She retired from the ring after the success of her son at Canberra Royal, winning Baby in Group at his first outing.
She had, at the end of her career nothing left to prove - the GRAND TITLE was not available to her in those days, but she was well and truly over the required points.
PEACEFULLY RESTING UNDER THE TREES WITH HER MATES.
VALE SWEET TESS - AT 10 YEARS
