DESERT FOX -3rd at Chelmsford

On March 10th Desert Fox ran a very respectable 3rd at Chelmsford beaten only a half length. The race was not run to suit "Foxy" who likes a strong pace to aim at but on this occassion there wasn't the requisite pace in the race. As such our jockey, Shane Kelly, was forced to go wide and get a more prominent position and in doing so forfeited ground. He loooked to have every chance at the furlong marker but those earlier exertions told and he didn't have the kick of the eventual winner, Glory Of Paris, and was narrowly beaten.
Foxy will have an easy period until there is a suitable oppportunity on turf where he will appreciate a little cut in the ground.
