Re: Horse Racing
Olympic chasing Curragh glory.

Olympic Glory will aim to rebuild his reputation in the Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh on Saturday week.
Richard Hannon's colt was sent off favourite for the French version last weekend, but a bad draw meant he was unable to land a blow. Last season he proved his class by beating all bar Dawn Approach in six races, including in Group One company on Arc day at Longchamp.
"You can put a line through Olympic Glory's French excursion. 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," the Wiltshire handler told www.richardhannonracing.co.uk.
