Roger Fell fuming over 'bizarre' handicapping of Guardia Svizzera

Roger Fell has hit out at the handicapper’s treatment of his four-year-old sprinter Guardia Svizzera, who rattled off a quick-fire hat-trick in moderate company last month.

The son of Holy Roman Emperor launched his winning spree on August 21 with a four-and-a-half-length victory over One Boy in a Class 5 Hamilton handicap.

He followed up in Class 6 company at Catterick the following week, and then was turned out fresh as paint by Fell two days later to complete the treble in a Hamilton Class 6.
