Nyasa holds on to land tidy gamble

JIM BOLGER took the training honours with a double in glorious sunshine at Gowran Park yesterday initiated by the well-backed Nyasa, who landed a tidy gamble when she took the mile handicap.

The daughter of Stravinsky was sporting the colours of Mrs Catherine Kinane and, supported from 10/1 into 7/1, just held the late run of Broomfield Lad to score by a half of a length.

Bolger doubled up in the Bulmers McEnery Cup when Mrs Gillow proved too strong for Dr Knock. The 10/1 shot was well handled by Brian Hughes, and the filly rattled off the very quick ground.
