Fly enjoys further Glory on the Polytrack Fly To Glory upset the odds-on Harry’s Bar when recording his third win at Dundalk this winter in the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Claiming Race. The Pat Murphy-trained gelding, available at 8/1 earlier in the day and sent off at 7/2, edged onto the far rail over a furlong out with 4/7 shot Harry’s Bar challenging up the centre of the track. The pair fought it out inside the final furlong with Nathan Crosse’s mount proving the stronger in the closing stages to score by a length and a quarter. Dontspoilasale kept on well the same distance further back in third. Murphy said, “He likes the far side! The last day they were all coming to the near rail and he wanted to go to the far side. We decided a few runs ago to go where he wants to go. "Little bit quirky, but he's tough and he did that well. "He showed good resolution and maybe Harry's Bar got a little bit lonely in the middle. "You probably wouldn't want to lose him after that, but we'll see. If he's gone, he's gone, and someone will have fun with him. The lads that own him, some of them have bought into another horse. They would be happy enough to keep him as well." The winner was claimed for €6,000 by Terence O’Brien, while fifth-placed Prince Of Love joins John McConnell for €10,000. Quotes by Michael Graham
