The filly was bred by Jan Lonie who had success with her great Bianconi galloper and now sire Mr Martini when he was trained by this fillies trainer Marc Connors. The2YO Bay filly had a first and a second at the trials before she put the writing on the wall with a close debut fourth at Hawkesbury. Alittlebitofmonica in my life will also be welcomed by her co-breeder and still owner Mark Geraghty from Geraghty Bloodstock in Qld. Commiserations to all those she beat who have $40,000 plus service fee stallions as their sires.
