Well done to all owners on another fantastic win from FRUITY O’ROONEY on his introduction to chasing. He could not have jumped any better, showing his usual enthusiasm and really battling after the last to hold the second at bay.

For a small horse he has so much power and he jumped the fences with ease. He was also very clever, you could see him lining up a stride well in advance of the fence and putting in short and long strides where necessary to get himself out of trouble. Gary, Jamie and Philip were all delighted with him, and expect better too when he is upped in trip and is on softer ground.

Philip Hide, who has done all the work preparing Fruity for the race, unfortunately has had to give up race riding but will still play a leading role in planning the horse's career. Fruity O'Rooney outjumps the much bigger Forever Emo. He was foot perfect throughout bar pecking on landing after one particularly exuberant jump.
