Future’s golden chance

IT can be a case of third time lucky for Golden Future in the Equine Warehouse three-year-old Maiden Hurdle at Clonmel this evening.

The Michael Murphy-trained gelding was no great shakes on the flat, but promises to be much better at this game.

He actually finished first on his initial outing over flights at Tramore, but lost the race in the stewards' room, in favour of Haroni, in somewhat controversial circumstances. The selection had his second outing over jumps at Tralee six days ago and produced another decent effort.
