Fools Glory rewards her backers at 33/1

Fools Glory was another prominent racer to oblige in Gowran Park as she popped up at 33/1 under Andrew Slattery.

She ran second before halfway in this 47-70 handicap over the extended mile just behind Lucky Queen and closed approaching the home bend.

Lucky Queen attempted to slip away a furlong and a half down, however, Fools Glory picked her up inside the final furlong and went on by a length at the line.

The runner-up, Lucky Queen, was backed in to 6/1 and was three parts of a length clear of Instrumental (8/1). Purple Gown gave her each-way backers a return in fourth at 22/1.

Owner/trainer Paul McEnery said: "She's done well since she won in Roscommon. She's a filly that has grown into herself.

“She was maybe disappointing in Killarney but she did it well today. She seems to like that ground.

“We were wondering if she needed blinkers because she's looking at stuff but Andrew said no.

“The last twice she hasn't jumped well but today she got out and I'd say she likes a bit of space.

“We'll see what is there for her, there isn't a whole lot and the season ends very quickly.”

Fools Glory was previously victorious on soft to heavy ground at Roscommon in May.
