Lovely Rita (2016) Horse
About
Lovely Rita is a 9yo brown mare trained by Alison Ross at Waverley. She is by the stallion Keano out of Strawberry Fields. So far she has secured two wins. Her biggest triumph arrived on 9 Oct 2024 at Waverley, where she claimed the $20,000 3yo+ Maiden Set Weight With Allowances. She has proven a profitable runner for punters; backing her throughout her career would have generated an 83% return on investment.
