Ghaire turns on the style

CUIS Ghaire gave Jim Bolger a flying start to Derby week with an emphatic victory in the Cathal Ryan Memorial Swordlestown Stud Sprint Stakes at Naas yesterday.

The evens favourite turned on the style inside the final quarter mile for Kevin Manning and won by three and a half lengths from Marquesa, with Kevin Ryan’s British raider Undaunted Affair two lengths away in third.

“She’s a lovely sort and she’ll head for the Railway Stakes at the Curragh next with the Moyglare Stud Stakes back there the long-term aim,” said Bolger.
