AMONG the winners for Dorset trainer Harry Fry since Christmas was the Winged Love gelding Fletchers Flyer who recorded his second successive victory over hurdles at Wincanton last Saturday.

The 2008 gelding, who landed his bumper under Derek O’Connor at the Punchestown Festival for the same yard, was bred at The Glebe House Stud of Jeremy Maxwell.

The bay is the fourth of eight foals out of the unraced Accordion mare Crystal Chord, dam previously of the winners Three Chords (by Winged Love) and L’Accordioniste (by Tikkanen).

Two days earlier, Maxwell bred the Catterick winner Racing Europe who landed the novices’ hurdle for the North Yorkshire yard of Brian Ellison on his second start over timber.

The six-year-old Kayf Tara gelding, who won a bumper at Bangor in November, is the first of four recorded foals out of the point-to-point-winning Turgeon mare Titanic Quarter being followed by a Winged Love filly (2011) and two colts by Court Cave (2012 and 2013).

Racing Europe runs in the colours of Phil Martin as does the former Brian Hamilton-trained Definitly Red who, on his first outing for Ellison, won the novices’ hurdle on the same card.

The Definite Article gelding, victorious in three bumpers, had finished second on his hurdling debut at Newcastle in late November.
