La Fortunata 5th Newmarket

La Fortunata ran a respectable 5th at Newmarket last thursday, beaten 6.25 lengths. Unfortunately the ground had gone against her, as it was just on the easy side of good, and she really needs quick ground to be seen at her best. Newmarket got a very heavy shower late morning which did the damage as far as we are concerned. When travelling to the course it was bone dry until one mile west of Newmarket where the ground was then damp. We were surpised to see so many large puddles close to the course but the earlier downpour had left its mark. She has come out of the race well and we will look for another 5f race in a few weeks time with the 5f Goodwood our preferred option.
