Fortuity

Shane Foley has been the horse's main partner, and while their record together stands at just one win from six races, that 17 per cent win rate is slightly better than Fortuity's overall 11 per cent — one win from nine. It suggests the jockey and horse may have found something together, even if consistency remains elusive. Fortuity is trained by Mrs John Harrington at Moone in County Kildare, a yard that has been in prolific form this season with 53 winners already, so the horse is in a strong operation with the infrastructure to turn raw ability into race-day performance. The real question for Fortuity is whether the Fairyhouse win marks the beginning of a winning run or simply a one-off flash in a long struggle to find the front. At three years old, there is time for that answer to become clear, but the recent form suggests the next win may not come easily.
