Fred doesn't disappoint

Fred Fenster an impressive winner at Cork last Saturday, followed up as a 'handicap good thing' should in the www.thetote.com/mobile Handicap under Keagan Latham at Navan.

The Fasliyev gelding, 15Ibs 'well-in' on figures, chased down the pace-setting Independent Girl over a furlong out and despite looking a bit 'idle' in front he stayed on really well to beat Shiramiyna by four and a quarter lengths

Eddie Lynam owns and trains the three-year-old and he said: "He got a 20Ib penalty for Cork and I'd suppose you could say now that this is his redundancy payment!

"We'll see what we'll do and I'll rule nothing in or out. I had to run him after going up so much and it worked out.

The red-hot County Meath-based handler concluded by contemplating aloud: "Am I dreaming or could he be a nice four-year-old hurdler?"

Fred Fenster is by Fasliyev and we saw what that stallion could achieve in the jumps sphere lately when West With The Wind landed the Grade 3 PricewaterhouseCoopers Chase at Limerick. Fred Fenster's prospects for the jumps are further boosted in that he is out of a mare by Generous.
