Jim Bolger rates Lucida highly

Jim Bolger has compared Lucida to his dual Classic-winning filly Finsceal Beo ahead of a likely tilt at the Qipco 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on May 3.

Finsceal Beo was a brilliant winner on the Rowley Mile in 2007 and after a narrow reverse in the French version, she got back on the winning trail in the Irish Guineas.

Like Finsceal Beo, the Godolphin-owned Lucida won Newmarket’s Rockfel Stakes as a juvenile, but disappointed on her final appearance in the Fillies’ Mile.
