Black-Type Ahead for Speedy Fast ‘N’ Famous Filly

4 August 2011

It’s black-type racing ahead for the Kevin Gray-trained Fast’N’Famous 3YO, Scarlet O’Hara (pictured left).

Scarlet O’Hara, who was successful at two, is set to receive her classic term’s pipe-opener in the Listed Fordell O’Leary Fillies’ Stakes (1200m) at Wanganui on September 3.

“She’s really exciting this filly,” said Gray. “She’s done very well during her break and I really like her. She’s a speed machine.”

Evidently, Scarlet O’Hara is not the only Fast’N’Famous galloper impressing the master conditioner.

“I’ve got another one named Super Bod who’s coming along very nicely,” he said. “Like Scarlett O’Hara, she’s got good gate speed and her work has been very pleasing.”

The Corner with Garry Chittick

I don’t know if the two of you have ever had the thrill of travelling at high speed across the water on a single ski, totally dependent on the driver of the boat. Fall off and you are left treading water, reminds you of racing. Here we are, with multiple hints of navigation hanging on to the rope hoping for salvation.
