Ruby primed for another big run in mares’ handicap

Definite Ruby can complete back-to-back success in the Hanlon Concrete EBF Glencarrig Lady Mares’ Handicap Chase on the penultimate day of the Punchestown festival. 

In 2016, the Gordon Elliott-trained mare came here off the back of a slightly disappointing effort in the Ulster National, and returns following another run in that race.

This year, however, she looked better than ever when going clear in the straight in the Downpatrick, only for the fuel tank to run empty very quickly.
