Rosie is now retired after when running in her last race - the final of the Rye Half Grand Stayers competition - she tore her gracillus muscle in her back right leg when coming out the traps. After a number of months, and plenty of trouble free gallops later, she was given a handslip over two bends. She came through it well but when having a second handslip, she tore the same muscle in her other leg! She was planning another comeback, but Rye House Stadium shut so she was retired.

Rosie began her career in Ireland as Time To Order, having her first race at Tralee in an Open race in January 2003. She was then brought to England with Noahs Alison and began racing at Reading under another trainer in November 2003. She raced there for 9 months and won 6 races before becoming a Noahs dog in August 2004. She then ran in graded races at Rye House, rising to top grade over 435m. She then won her first open race, a heat of the Rye Half Grand One Lap competition, where she ran on well to come second in the final after falling out the traps and being baulked at the first bend. She was then stepped up to 6 bends, running in opens at Romford, Walthamstow and Mildenhall. Her first 6 bend win came at Rye House, where three weeks later she finished second to qualify for the Half Grand Stayers Competition where she went lame.

Rosie still enjoys her gallops, goading all the other dogs into chasing her up and down.
