Fenton enjoys a welcome change of fortune as Real Steel fells favourite
Fenton has been in the headlines in recent days after being charged with possessing unlicensed substances, including anabolic steroids, following a visit to his yard by the Department of Agriculture in January 2012, with a court case adjourned until next month.
The Gigginstown House Stud-owned Real Steel was a 7-1 shot for what looked a competitive event and knuckled down well to beat Willie Mullins’ 13-8 favourite Vicky De L’Oasis by three and a quarter lengths. Minella Foru made late headway to grab third.
