Fitzthebill?? How on earth ?.

[Brodie]

How on earth can Fitzthebill go very average at its first start at Oamaru after having an economic run, come out second up sitting parked all the way, and WIN??

Seriously one of the biggest improvement in a horse I have seen!

It cleaned up horses that beat it by many lengths last start, and sitting parked this time on Ashburton?

There is no way on earth this horse ran true to what it had shown previously and no way you couldve considered it as a chance to run a place in that field!

What is going on here, going to be interesting to hear what the trainer Andrew Faulks has done to show so much improvement!

A few trainers have an "edge"  over others.  Magical water?

Not sure with this one HJ?

Andrew Faulkes certainly hasn’t been using it on many of his horses including the Averos  Spitfire!

Searing Light in the same boat. The run last start saw it dropping out to last after a good run in the trail. Biggest improvement I have seen for a while.

Last eight runs before the big turnaround have been last, third last, third last, second last, last, second last, second last, last.

Why no stipes questions you might ask? 

Because the fucked up criteria for any questioning from the stipes appears to be if you run better than fifth in any of the last few starts then you avoid the questioning. 

Searing Light avoided the stipes report questions by beating two horses home in a six horse field three starts ago.

A blind man could see this was the horse to question if there ever were to be questions asked. Were the stipes even working that day or do they only turn up and just count whip strikes all day!
