2 for Bolger and Manning at Dundalk Jim Bolger and Kevin Manning doubled their score at Dundalk as Bridle Path swooped late to register a victory in the Big Bad Bob (Fillies) Maiden. Coolcullen had sent out a winning favourite in race three, with Mandatario, and here Bridle Path also headed the market (2/1) on her first venture solely pitted against her own sex. The victorious Teofilo four-year-old finished off well to defeat Lunada by a length. "They went very fast and I was drawn wide so struggled to get across," revealed Manning. "They went very very quick and I was further back than ideal but I was hoping they would come back and they did inside the final furlong. "I was tracking Pat as I thought he was the one. I was concerned that we had let them go a little bit but the pace they were going they had to come back. "That was very important as she's a very well bred filly." W.M. Lordan, rider of Trojan Valley, trained by Patrick Downey, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount sustained a leg injury and unseated him while racing independently. (GC & EM)
