Dual code horseman on a fruitful roll

Dual code horse trainer Blake Fitzpatrick will be looking for his fruitful run to continue at Menangle today. 

The 39-year-old drove a treble at Menangle on Saturday night courtesy of wins with Wow Hes A Rockstar, Wainui Creek and One Majic Kenny. 

This was fresh off his training feat when his thoroughbred Danzette won at Wyong races last Thursday. 

Harness racing has always been Fitzpatrick’s first love and he has been one of the top drivers in New South Wales this past decade, boasting 2086 wins. 

He has two drives today including for his father, trainer Paul Fitzpatrick, with debutant pacer Ideal Marquess. 

The latter is out of the former top race mare Marquess De Posh who Fitzpatrick drove to many victories in her career.

The iForm best bets for Tuesday:

Menangle best bet 

Race 5: Killara Shogun (10)

Can make it back-to-back victories following a determined win here last.

Menangle next best 

Race 3: Ideal Marquess (3)

First starter who makes her presence felt bringing strong trial credentials into this race.

Around the tracks

Young best bet

Race 1: Frozen Jewel (1)

Can defy her modest record with the help of a good draw and some natural improvement after a break.
