Good on ya Lisa! Love seeing local champs come back strong. Must've been a tough road, but she's a proper battler.
Bloody legend. Injuries can end careers, but she's made of tough stuff. Great ride by He's Lucid too.
Yeah nah, bit of a nothing win though, was it? He's Lucid was just second-favourite in a small field. Media making a bigger deal than it is.
A win's a win mate. Coming back from major injuries is huge, doesn't matter the field size.
Allpress always brings it. Good to see her back in the saddle. Hawera track was perfect on Saturday.
Wait, two years out? That's insane. How do you even come back from that? Mad respect.

real! I'm studying sports science and her recovery is textbook mental toughness.
admire the dedication. Two years of physio and rehab just to get back on a horse. That's true grit.
Another feel-good story for the racing industry. Meanwhile, most New Zealanders can't afford to bet or even go to the races with the cost of living. But yeah, go Lisa.
get over yourself. Some people just want to enjoy a feel-good story without the lecture.
you can't enjoy one good news story without dragging everything down, maybe take a break from the internet.
Nice one! Anyone know if she's got more rides coming up? Keen to go watch her at Ellerslie.
