Patience pays off for Sullington trainer

THE spell of bad weather interrupted trainer Richard Rowe's good run but the yard is back in good form, having saddled Funny Fellow to win over fences at the recent Plumpton meeting.

The Sullington trainer had been enjoying a good season until the weather caused meetings to be abandoned.

It was a case of patience paying off with Funny Fellow. A seven-year-old by Defacto, he has had 16 starts in his career, with 10 of those over hurdles.
