Rebel Fitz shows his true colours

THE Michael Winters-trained Rebel Fitz, a costly failure at Galway previously, showed his true colours with a smooth success in the Novice Hurdle at Clonmel yesterday.

He’s a horse who seems to live somewhat on his nerves and sweated a fair bit before the start.

Explained Winters: “He can get very worked up and tends to boil over in the parade ring. But, he has solid ability and it wouldn’t be much good if he walked around like a fool and couldn’t gallop.”
