Lashes keeps Bolger bandwagon rolling in Coronation

JIM Bolger enjoyed a quick-fire Royal Ascot double yesterday as Lush Lashes consigned her Oaks run to history and secured a Group One success in the Coronation Stakes.

Cuis Ghaire had already carried the colours of Bolger’s wife Jackie into the winner’s enclosure after the opening event, and the white and purple silks returned again after his Galileo filly successfully dropped back to a mile.

Having finished sixth in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket – a race which has now produced the Coronation winner for the last six years – Lush Lashes went on to victory in the Musidora at York.
