Fruity O'Rooney - in training with Gary Moore

FRUITY O'ROONEY has been with us since last summer and has proved to be a really tough and consistent horse, finishing in the prize money on his last four runs, including a fantastic win last time out at Lingfield. Along the way he took his owners to Kempton Park on Boxing Day, one of the biggest days in the racing calendar, and thrilled us all by finishing third. More recently in front of 100 Heart of the South owners he just got beaten in the feature race at Fontwell, but then went on to win in great style at Lingfield Park in February.

This was followed by more placed efforts in high class races and he is now having a well deserved summer holiday at Framfield. He will be brought back for the start of the jump racing season to go novice chasing. Gary has already schooled him over fences and is excited by this horse's brilliant jumping. 

Phillip Hide, on whose recommendation we bought the horse, says, "He is the ideal syndicate horse. He has low mileage, can jump for fun and has given me plenty of reasons to like him in the past. He will suit Gary's set-up and should progress into a decent chaser in time." 

LINGFIELD PARK Monday 8 February 2010  Jockey - JOSHUA MOORE FRUITY O'ROONEY wins so easily with his young jockey riding very confidently. The ground was heavy and the horses feet were going in to really deep mud but Fruity just seems to skip over it and finished 15 lengths in front with his ears pricked!   To view a video of the race click on the photo opposite
	FRUITY O'ROONEY (named by his previous trainer after a dream about an Irish pub!) is by top National Hunt Sire, KAHYASI. KAHYASI historically produces horse who require a bit of time and therefore, we could have ideally purchased FRUITY O'ROONEY at the right time. His Dam, RECIPE, has produced some interesting winners in her time namely Group horse HEART who won over £75,000 in prize money. She was by BUSTINO who was also a decent National Hunt Sire, so our fellow really does have '3mile Chaser" written all over him!
