Bolger has G1 plans for Fastnet mare

Trainer Jim Bolger intends to campaign Turret Rocks (5m Fastnet Rock-Beyond Compare, by Galileo) in G1 company following her comfortable stakes success this week.

The Fastnet Rock mare, also bred by Bolger, captured the Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Victor McCalmont Memorial Stakes at Gowran Park in June Judd’s colours and is expected to step up in grade.

“She’s entered at Royal Ascot and then we have Derby weekend after that where we could have a look at the G1 Pretty Polly Stakes. We’ll keep her well entered up,” said Bolger.

Turret Rocks has been an admirably consistent performer and already has G2 and G3 successes to her name.
