Olympic Glory sets his sights on Irish 2,000 Guineas ? Horseracing news
Olympic Glory has set his sights on the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas (Group 1) (Entire Colts & Fillies) at Curragh in Ireland. The all-important event is scheduled to take place next week and has attracted some quality stallions.
The young challenger was unable to make an impression in his most recent race, which was quite disappointing for his fans. He was rated as the favourite to succeed back then, but ended up way down in 11th?place. This was the first ever time when he dropped out of the top three in his career.
According to his challenger Richard Hannon, ?He was drawn in the cheap seats and could never get competitive, but at least he came back without having had a hard race, so we have decided to take him to Ireland, where the stiff mile should suit him well.?
Overall, Olympic Glory has participated in a total of seven races until now and his performances in most of them have been outstanding. He has managed to maintain a decent strike rate, which proves that he is a consistent performer. He has succeeded in five races whereas finished as a runner up once.
However, past record does not matter much, especially when the stallion is out of form. Therefore, the three-year-old colt needs to work hard on his form and fitness, if he wants to bounce back strongly.
Other than Olympic Glory, Hannon will be expecting a better performance from his trainee Maureen, who will be participating in the Etihad Airways Irish 1,000 Guineas. She is also a quality runner and has the ability to outshine her opponents.
The Irish filly has participated in a total of six races until now and she has managed to maintain a 50 percent winning percentage until now. Moreover, she has also secured the runner up position once in her career, which shows that she is quite capable of fighting for top positions.
However, she saw a decline in form during her last outing, which would have disappointing for her fans. Although she was not rated as the favourite to succeed back then, yet she could have achieved a better result than sixth. So, she will be looking to improve her performance next time around.
