We didn't think much could top FRUITY
O'ROONEY's second at Ascot last month but he went one better at
Kempton on 27th December, netting a first prize of over £12,000 and
delighting his many followers. He returned
at 12-1 so it's no wonder they were all
smiling!
Once again
he did it the only way he knows how, leading for the entire three
miles and seeing off one challenger after another. His task was
made easier by two challengers falling at the last two
fences but while our horse once again jumped to the left at
most fences, he never looked like falling and he came home a 3 31/4
length winner.
FRUITY's
willing attitude inspires great loyalty among his 20 owners, and 19
of them were there to cheer him home. Gary Moore's post race
interview gave much deserved credit for the win to the horse's
biggest fan, former jockey Philip Hide, who bought the horse for us
and who rides him every
day.
