A Dream To Share bought by McManus

JP McManus has purchased leading Cheltenham Festival hope A Dream To Share.

Successful on his first two starts last summer at Roscommon and Tipperary respectively, the John Kiely trained five-year-old stepped up in class at the Dublin Racing Festival last weekend.

Sent off a 12/1 chance at the Foxrock venue, he belied those odds to beat a quality field under John Gleeson, son of winning owners, Brian and Claire Gleeson.

Also bred by the Gleeson family in Co Waterford, the Muhaarar gelding will now race in the famous green and gold hoops of McManus.

A Dream To Share will stay in the care of John Kiely, while it remains to be seen whether John Gleeson will retain the ride for the Cheltenham Festival.
