The Jim Bolger trained and bred Sar Oiche followed up a maiden win in January with a second win at Dundalk this evening, winning the Champion's Restaurant Dining At Dundalk Stadium Handicap under the Derby winning trainer's son-in-law Kevin Manning.
The daughter of Teofilo improved to lead a furlong and a half out and in the end kept going for a half length win over Colla Pier
Afterwards Ger Flynn, Bolger's representative and travelling head lad, stated "hopefully she won't go up a whole lot as she didn't win too far.
"Kevin said she seems to like the surface and the drop back to a mile-and-a-half wasn't an issue. I'd say we'll try and find something similar."
