The Jim Bolger trained Ringside Humour left previous '000' form-figures behind when making a winning handicap debut at Gowran today, in the Ladies Day June 20th Handicap.

Ridden by the trainer's son-in-law and stable jockey Kevin Manning, the daughter of Teofilo finished wide and fast, for a three parts of a length win over Sakhees Jack

Bolger wasn't present but Manning later mentioned "it was a messy type of race and he just got there in time."
