Former kennel hand Rachel Wheeler trained Fatboyz Dizzy overcame dreadful weather conditions when winning the €7,000 JP Moran & Trevor O’Donnell Oaks Final at Newbridge on Sunday evening.
Owned by friend of the kennel Anthony Cameron, the 4-1 chance Fatboyz Dizzy (Top Honcho/ Lughill Emily) got away smartly and raced to the bend with Shelbourne Dawn. From the bend the race became a three dog race as Fatboyz Dizzy led from Shelbourne Dawn with Air Force Ellie a few lengths adrift in third.
Air Force Ellie made her move at the third bend where she forced her way past Shelbourne Dawn and threw down her challenge. But the evens favourite moved wide off the final bend while Shelbourne Dawn challenged up the inside. But Fatboyz Dizzy was very brave in front and she battled on to hold off Air Force Ellie by half a lengths in 28.86 with Shelbourne Dawn three parts of a length third.
This highly rated bitch will now join be using us for a crack at the English Oaks. Rachel has done a tremendous job with this bitch and hopefully this will be many of big races she will win in Ireland. Hopefully this win in the spotlight will attract her many new owners.
