Dancer waltzes in to spearhead 55/1 Bolger treble

IN-FORM Jim Bolger dominated last night’s action at Gowran Park, saddling a 55/1 treble with Majestic Dancer, Buiateoir and Book Of Numbers to follow-up his double at Naas on Wednesday.

Carrying the colours of nearby Ballylinch Stud, Majestic Dancer, a half-sister to the likes of Modeeroch and Danakiya, earned a valuable winning bracket when making all to land the Irish Stallion Farms 3-Y-0 Maiden by four and a half lengths from market rival Celerina.

Stable-jockey Kevin Manning, initiating a personal double, popped the Danehill Dancer filly from the stalls quickly and, stretching clear from the two furlong pole, won well, prompting her trainer to explain: “The plan was to make use of her high draw tonight, but she can do it either way. We’ll see what the handicapper thinks before making plans for her.”
