Re: Horse Racing
Bolger taking patient approach

Quote:
Jim Bolger will take his time with Dawn Approach before formulating a plan for the beaten Investec Derby favourite.
The previously undefeated colt was sent off the 5-4 market leader for the premier Classic at Epsom on the back of his Qipco 2000 Guineas success, but finished last of the 12 runners.
The writing had been on the wall for the son of Bolger's Derby hero New Approach from some way out, as he took a fierce hold under Kevin Manning from an early stage.
As the runners went along at just a sedate pace and with his mount refusing to settle, Manning had little choice but to let Dawn Approach stride on and he was a spent force not long after Tattenham Corner
