Wolverhampton Fitz Just Perfectly!

Fitz Perfectly made it a winning trip to Wolverhampton last night, on just her 3rd run since joining the yard in October.

Facing 11 rivals she was sent off the 10/3 favourite in the 1m 1 & 1/2f handicap.

It was collectively a brave, brilliant & beautifully executed ride by Alistair Rawlinson, who has ridden the four year old on each of her starts following her move north to Middleham, as he was especially gutted not to have won on her the last day when she was beaten into second by just a neck. However the form has held up particularly well from that race with horses finishing in behind having subsequently come out and won.

This time he was quite rightly entitled to trust both his judgement & the filly. The pair bounced out and made all right from the stalls and, despite facing strong challenges towards the finish, Fitz held on gamely for the win.

Not only were we all delighted for Alistair, but also wish to congratulate owner Bill Hawkins; this being his first horse with our yard.

Bill has horses with some other very well respected trainers and Fitz was his fourth winner in 7 days. We therefore felt very privileged to be in such good company!

Fitz is a lovely young mare who has been better for every run. She was quite “revvy” when she arrived so everyone has worked hard to find the key to her. She’s ridden out on her own to keep her nice & calm and that seems to have really helped her settle on a daily basis.

She’s a very happy girl and so she should be after last night’s performance!
