Jim Bolger hasn’t half stood the test of time

Watching Jim Bolger’s Smash Williams streaking away with a Group 3 at the Curragh last Sunday, it struck me that here is a man who hasn’t half stood the test of time.

He is someone who seems to have supped from the font of eternal youth and it is virtually impossible to believe was born in 1941.

I suppose we should have suspected he was destined for greatness, considering J S Bolger entered this world on December 25.
