Bogie causes upset

Wed 7th Oct 2009, 16:30

Bogie sprang a 25/1 surprise when claiming the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at Navan for Ger Lyons.

Emmet McNamara produced the Pivotal colt to wear down Akinndi in the final furlong and record a length victory.

"We think a bit of him. The first day at Leopardstown he went mad at the start and got a fright," revealed Lyons.

"It's totally out of character for him - he's never done anything like it before or since. I sent Andrew Duff down to the start with him today.

"He's a nice horse with a good pedigree and will make a cracking three-year-old."
