La Fortunata - outstanding 2nd at the York Ebor meeting

La Fortunata once again ran her heart out on thursday to be narrowly beaten by Monsiour Joe. She was 1lb out of the handicap but we felt we had to go and have a crack as she has so much speed and it is an easy 5f. Also, there are very few 5f races for three year olds only with the last race for her this Wednesday at Brighton. The owners, Jim and Pat Patton, and their friends had a great day out and they were gallant "losers". That, however, is the point as being placed in a Class 2 handicap is testimony to the progress she has made this year and the skill of the team and the filly's big heart. Anything now is a bonus!
