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

Well, it was finally our turn. Mary and I shared in the joy of winning a race; we were there, of course. We could have settled in, in front of the TV – not driven the 50 minutes each way, but the emotions are entirely different.

Smart Love too smart this start

Smart Love (Savabeel ex Relentless Desire) made a winning return at Te Rapa on 14 September, storming home by 3.3 lengths. Racing in Garry Chittick’s colours, the four-year-old mare impressed for Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott after two solid trials.
