Let's Go La Fichad

The recent form reads 9-6-1-9-3-6, which means there was a bright moment four runs ago with that third-place finish, sandwiched between some lower placings. But the key is that the horse is actively racing and continues to turn up. Trainer Ross O'Sullivan, who runs a yard at Kilcullen in Co Kildare that has sent out 40 winners already this season, clearly sees enough in Let's Go La Fichad to keep bringing it to the track. The yard's consistency suggests O'Sullivan knows what he is doing with the horse, and that June win at Sligo wasn't a fluke—it was evidence that when the right race comes along, this horse is capable of delivering. With the horse having run as recently as yesterday, the yard are plainly not done with it yet, and there is every reason to think another win might not be far away.
