Fighting Fit (2015) Horse
About
Fighting Fit is a 10yo br horse trained by J P Dempsey in Kildare. He is by the stallion Kayf Tara out of the mare Moyliscar. To date, Fighting Fit has recorded six victories in his career. On 6 Aug 2023 at Galway, he secured his biggest triumph, winning the £18,000 Lord Hemphill Memorial Handicap Chase. The animal has been a rewarding prospect for bettors, and anyone who backed him throughout his career would have realized a 69 % return on investment.
