KAYLEEN, 3yo Filly, races Riccarton Wednesday 13th February

After running on tighter provincial South Island tracks in recent starts, FORTUNA’s 3yo Filly, KAYLEEN ( Towkay-Indomitable), now gets her chance  on the roomy Riccarton track, Wednesday 13th February. Coming back to the 1200 metre distance, down the Riccarton chute, the race plan is to ride KAYLEEN with some cover, in order to get her to relax more in her racing. FORTUNA Director, John Galvin, explains. ” She is a naturally speedy filly, who just likes to get up and run, however, this natural ablity has meant she has been running on the pace or in the lead and she has not learned to relax and drop the bridle in her racing. Tomorrow, we want rider, Matt Cameron, to settle her in behind the speed with cover, get her to relax, have her come off the bit and then use her speed at the end of the race. The Riccarton chute presents a good opportunity for us to teach her a bit more about the racing game.”
