Trainer Jim Bolger is doing well with his juvenile runners and sent out his sixth such winner at Tipperary today as newcomer Jack Duggan provided his stallion father Jack Milton with a first winner this side of the Atlantic in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.
Already gelded Jack Duggan today scored a 20/1 upset under jockey Rory Cleary to complete an across-the-card double for Bolger whose Ambitious Approach won the last staged race at Sligo's abandoned fixture.
Following the race jockey Cleary stated “he’s a lovely horse. He travelled really well and strongly into the straight and brought me there nice and easy and picked up smartly. I think there’s a lot of improvement in him and hopefully he could be a good horse in the making.
“He has been working nicely at home and the boss man was very confident with him. He said to give him every chance. The boss man has the dam, so he’s a nice horse to have in the yard.”
American-born Jack Duggan was first-season stallion Jack Milton's (a son of War Front) first runner outside American and was Bolger's sixth individual two year old winner, from 17 juvenile runners in 2020.
