Just four runs back from a spell, with the previous three runs over sprint trips, READY FORTUNE (More Than Ready-Bahira), stepped up to his favoured 1600 metre distance at Kanji racecourse Sunday 25th January. Drawn in barrier four and with Singapore Champion jockey, Manoel Nunes, in the saddle, READY FORTUNE was always going to get a sweet trip. Ridden back in the field by Nunes, the pace up front was hot, which suited race tactics perfectly. Nunes set him alight at about the 600 metre mark and READY FORTUNE produced his trademark finishing run down the middle of the track to score by half a length. See Race replay HERE
Trained in Singapore for the Fortuna NZ Stable by Mark Walker, READY FORTUNE is raced by the Fortuna Ready Fortune Syndicate, comprising 33 individuals. He was acquired by Fortuna at the 2011 Karaka Premier Sale and has now nudged his Singapore earnings to almost $100,000.
