Lady Ruler can go one better

ON a particularly moderate card, Thomas Cleary’s Lady Ruler may be up to landing the nap in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Auction Maiden at Roscommon tonight.

The filly will be partnered by Cleary’s son, Rory, and only has to repeat her most recent effort at Bellewstown to go very close.

That Bellewstown effort was only four days ago, when the daughter of Viking Ruler didn’t enjoy a lot of luck in running. Held up on the inside for much of the journey, she had to be switched to the outside in the straight to launch her challenge.
