Over the next few weeks we are going to look back at the 2019/20 point-to-point season and highlight some ‘Moments of the season’. To kick off, we’ve chosen the debut of bargain-buy FUMET D’OUDAIRIES at Cottenham back in November…
Any five-year-old that wins four point-to-points in their first season is pretty special, and yet Fumet D’Oudairies had been bought for just £800.
That insulting price was made to look ridiculous when he sluiced up at Cottenham on his first start in a maiden, returned to that track for a restricted win, beat far more experienced rivals in a conditions race at Horseheath and then went back to that course for an intermediate success. Only once did he face a single-figure field, and the form of his races and the previous and subsequent victories of those he vanquished put polish on his performances.
Fumet D’Oudairies, who as a four-year-old raced three times under Rules in Ireland without success, was bought at Doncaster’s Spring Sale and raced in the colours of G & T Racing’s Ice And A Slice Club. He was ridden each time by Jack Andrews and trained by his brother-in-law, Tom Ellis, who says: “He’s a sharp little horse at home, and hard to sit on. He’s dropped Jack a couple of times, and that’s not easy, but other than that he’s fine and good as gold in his stable.

“Before we bought him he’d run in two bumpers and a 21-runner maiden hurdle in which he got knocked about a bit, but he was half the size he is now. When we schooled him over poles it was frightening – he’d take off from anywhere and dive over them, but Gina and the girls did a lot of work with him and found he had plenty of scope for a little horse.
“To think he went on to win twice around one of the sharpest tracks in the country [Cottenham] and then twice more over the stiff three miles [at Horseheath] says a lot about him. He was cheap, but Tiger Roll was cheap at £10,000 – it’s what they do on the racecourse that gives them a value.
“It was a shame the season ended, because we were thinking of one more point-to-point and then the restricted final at Stratford. He’s for sale to someone who would like to leave him in the yard – I’m sure he’s got the scope to run in hunters’ chases.”
Check out ‘Moments of the season’ each and every Wednesday.
