UPDATES – Fish Eagle

March 11th, 2023
Raced over 1160m on the Turffontein Standside course. Finished 4th out of 10 runners.
Anthony Delpech post-race comment: He definitely needs more ground. He does not have the early pace and I don’t believe the blinkers are the solution.

February 21st, 2023
Raced over 1200m on the Turffontein Inside course. Finished 2nd out of 11 runners.
Anthony Delpech post-race comment: He over raced in the early part of the race, with blinkers on for the first time. Gavin Lerena also made his run too soon at the top of the straight. I believe this horse needs further and the blinkers should be removed. He ran a good 2nd under the circumstances.

Raced over 1160m at Turffontein on the Standside course. Finished 3rd out of 11 runners.
