28th February 2025 – Jockey Rossa Ryan
Congratulations to Owners on a career best performance from King Of Ithaca at Southwell!
This is fast becoming a track that the horse really enjoys and he went into this race in extremely good order. Despite there being no real early pace in the race, King Of Ithaca settled and travelled well throughout the race and Rossa Ryan gave him a peach of a ride! The pair travelled with ease in the closing stages and hit the front perhaps sooner than ideal – but the horse just kept grinding it out in front to win for the 5th time in his career!
We were over the moon with the run and send a huge thank you to Rossa for a brilliant ride and of course to James Tate and his team for turning this horses’s racing career & overall enthusiasm towards his racing around!
He really does seem to enjoy these type of tracks with a bend and a long straight to get rolling and with the form King Of Ithaca is currently in we would not be surprised if he wins again this Spring!
