Borora Aura

The recent form makes for interesting reading. The horse failed to trouble the judge on its most recent outing before that, finishing ninth, but bounced back to run third last time out just a day ago — so it is clearly in the thick of things right now and very much an active runner. Finishing third after a ninth-place effort is exactly the kind of bounceback that keeps the yard — sorry, that keeps trainers optimistic.

Michael Mulvany, who operates out of Kells in Co. Meath, has the horse in his care, and this is a yard worth paying attention to. Twenty winners sent out already this season is a healthy haul that suggests Mulvany knows how to get a horse ready to win. When a horse trained by someone producing those kinds of numbers starts finishing third and creeping up the field, it tends to mean something. The yard has the firepower to find the right race, and Borora Aura looks like a project that is slowly coming together.
