Cleary on the mark again with High Priestess

RORY CLEARY, fresh from his victory aboard Palace Star in Tuesday night’s McDonogh Handicap, added another big-race success to his portfolio when partnering High Priestess to take the featured Guinness Handicap at Galway last night.

Cleary rode a copybook race, tracking the trail-blazing Former Senator into the straight and then launching his challenge.

It looked as if Former Senator had stolen the contest off the final bend, but the youngster timed his effort to perfection and High Priestess quickened past in the last hundred yards.
