Fit Right was a surprise 6-1 winner of the Stadium Bookmakers Standards Final over 500 metres at Nottingham on Monday night.
David Pruhs’ dog who is normally a slow starter, turned in third place and flew down the back straight to pass the favourite La Maqina and Solvitas Rocket on the third turn.
From there he went onto beat Solvitas Rocket by a length and a half in 29.93sec.
Another Pruhs trained Dark Entries runner caused a surprise in the Betfred Maiden Sprint Final over 305 metres.
Hiya Butt went to traps the 2-5 favourite after clocking the fastest time of the year in last week’s heats but dwelt at the start and hit the rail at the first turn.
The race went to Dark Entries, who made just about all to hold Dragon IntheSky by half a length in 18.01sec.
Owner Sean Hickey said: “I didn’t think we had a chance with the favorite but he got it all wrong and my fella did it all right.”
