Times lands last for Coolcullen handler

Sat 23rd May 2009, 17:09

Jim Bolger struck in the last at the Curragh when Coolcullen Times lasted out in a tight finish to the 1m2f handicap.

Kevin Manning 's mount had hit the lead over a furlong out but just got home as both Designated Decoy and Master Marvel flew home.

"He was a bit backward last year and won off 65 first time this year. I thought he was lightly treated," said Bolger.

"I thought he would win at Dundalk two starts back and I thought he'd win today. If he's not too overburdened after this he may win again."n."
