This week we say goodbye to a very special member of the Barry Sheppard stable โ our tough old warrior, Fitzroy Boy. ๐๐
Since joining our ownership group in October 2020, this boy has given us so many memories, laughs, road trips, celebrations and stories weโll never forget.
Fitzroy Boy wasnโt just a racehorseโฆ he was a fighter. After surviving a horrific stable attack early in his career, he showed incredible courage and resilience to continue racing and doing what he loved most. His toughness and heart is something we will always admire.
Over his career he gave connections: ๐ 8 wins ๐ฅ 10 seconds ๐ฅ 5 thirds ๐ฐ Nearly $100,000 in prizemoney
But to us, the stats only tell a small part of the story.
Thank you Fitzroy Boy for every gallop, every nervous watch, every cheering finish line moment and for bringing so many people together through racing.
A huge thank you as well to Barry Sheppard and everyone involved in caring for him over the years.
Enjoy retirement, Roy โ youโve more than earned it. ๐๐ด
