La Fortunata - A WINNER

La Fortunata won the 6f Conditions race at Newmarket this evening. She was given an excellent ride by apprentice jockey, Charles Bishop, who jumped her out and got a relatively easy lead. She had her ears pricked for the first few furlongs and then got down to business. She galloped gamely up the hill and never looked like being caught.
The photograph below shows her owners and breeders, Jim and Pat Patton, and her lad James who must take some credit as he rides her most of the time at home.
