Cork racing: Winters laments the passing of warrior horse Rebel Fitz

Reflecting on his late stable star this week, Winters said: ‘‘Horses like Rebel Fitz, you can point out straightaway in a yard. He was a very special horse, he had a great life and (his connections) are as proud as punch.’’

‘‘My wife has a couple of broodmares and, if you can’t sell a couple of the fillies, you might lease them out to a syndicate. A couple of young horses might step into the plate. There can be a dark horse in there.”
