Flying high

Wed 06 Nov 2024

Winner 86 of 2024: FLYING FLETCHER, trained by Richard Fahey and ridden by Oisin Orr. ‘£30 In Free Bets With BetUK Handicap’ over 6f at Newcastle.

Having been a very impressive winner last time in Newcastle over course and distance and him showing the right signs at home, we were optimistic of a good run. Oisin rode Flying Fletcher with great confidence and settled him at the rear of the field, which might have been a decisive move with plenty of pace in the early stages of the race.

He won in superior fashion – again – drawing away from the field inside the final furlong to win easily by 2 ½ lengths. All being well he should have an exciting AW sprinting campaign ahead of him with lucrative targets along the way.

Timeform rated his victory:with a t93+, saying: "Was a wide-margin winner of a nursery over C&D on his final start last year that worked out well and he got back on the up on just his second outing since to run out an impressive winner; held up, travelled well, headway over 1f out, quickened to lead inside final 100 yds, well on top finish; his dam progressed through handicaps into a pattern performer and this gelding looks one to make the step up to better handicaps."

 

A delighted syndicate Manager Tom Palin after the race: "Another breathtaking performance from your horse last night. The pace was stronger than anticipated and for that reason, I felt Oisin gave your horse a wonderful ride, he realised they were going strongly enough on the front end and just gave him a bit of a chance to finish his race, and boy did he do just that! He again came home with a serious rattle to win comfortably in the end and in the style of a horse rapidly progressing through the ranks. It was a brilliant result last night and I’m delighted for everyone who indeed kept the faith and the support of him, I feel he’s likely to have a productive Autumn and Winter for yourselves."
