Lady Gloria team pray for rain

James Given is praying for rain to aid Lady Gloria’s bid in the Coolmore Fusaichi Pegasus Matron Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday.

The Lincolnshire trainer admits he may be aiming high, but believes it is a gamble worth taking, especially as it gives the four-year-old filly a chance to increase her value before her likely engagement at the Tattersalls December Sales.
