Bolger tells of £64,000 Dunlop filly deal

TOP trainer Jim Bolger told the Mahon Tribunal yesterday a thoroughbred filly he sold to lobbyist Frank Dunlop for nearly £64,000 in 1992, broke her neck in collision with another horse on his stud farm the following year.

He said he selected the animal and had it registered with Weatherbys Ireland. No passport was then required for the unnamed animal and he did not issue any sale documents to Mr Dunlop.

“She collided with her partner the following year and she broke her neck and died,” said Mr Bolger.
