Another sunny day for Bolger and Manning

Sun On The Run was driven out by Kevin Manning to land the spoils in the seven furlong handicap in Cork.

This was another winner for the Jim Bolger/Kevin Manning team who combined for a four-timer in Gowran Park yesterday.

Punters latched on to Sun On The Run when prices were chalked up this morning as was quickly punted from 2/1 to 13/8. However, a major on course plunge on Cash Or Casualty – 25/1 to 14/1 –saw Sun On The Run go off the 9/4 favourite.

Cash Or Casualty set out to make it a true test from the front under Rory Cleary. He was passed though by Srucahan and Sun On The Run who were locked together from a furlong and a half out.

Inside the final half furlong Manning on the outside got his mount ahead and they scored by three parts of a length. Their rival was returned at 9/2. Cash Or Casualty landed the place part of the gamble in third at 14s. He was beaten five and a quarter lengths by the winner.

This was Sun On The Run fourth career outing. He is now two from two at Cork having delivered in a six furlong maiden here in March last year. That was also on heavy ground.
