Bolger gives thanks to Margarula

Jim Bolger drew back the years when saddling Margarula to spring a 33-1 surprise and deny the odds-on favourite Quarter Moon in the Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh.

Taking a significant step up in grade in her stride, the daughter of Doyoun was relegating Quarter Moon (4-5) to the runner-up berth at Classic level for the third time on the trot when producing a superior change of gear to win by a length.
