Mara can make it third time lucky

GLOR NA MARA can land what promises to a very informative Group 2 Galileo EBF Futurity Stakes at the Curragh this afternoon.

He was the medium of rave reports, prior to his debut in the Group 3 Anglesey Stakes at the Curragh, but performed deplorably to finish twelve and a half lengths fourth of four behind Dunboyne Express.

His trainer Jim Bolger, however, then made the bold move of asking him to contest the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes, back at the Curragh, and this time the real Glor Na Mara came to the races.
