Magical Hope wins the Group 3 Darley Munster Oaks 

The winner’s stablemate, Bubble Gum, was caught behind the pace and shuffled back in the early stages, but failed to pick up with the opportunity final came.

Paddy Twomey saddled two leading fancies in the Group 3 Darley Munster Oaks, the feature on Friday’s card in Mallow, and it was Magical Hope who gave the trainer his third win in the last four renewals of the race.

Colin Keane was on board the former French-based four-year-old and gave the 3-1 chance a positive ride. Kicking from the front just after turning for home, she soon had the remainer of the field in trouble, and won with a nice bit in hand, confirming French form with Lemsairbat, who is now with Joseph O’Brien.
