Boulevard bosses her rivals in Dundalk opener Southern Boulevard proved too hot to handle for her rivals as she justified her short price in the opening sprint maiden at Dundalk today. Ger Lyons’ charge had finished fourth in Listed company over the same five furlong trip here earlier in the month and went to post a 5/6 shot to get off the mark. Gary Carroll bounced out to make all on his mount but she was pestered early on by 33/1 Scolyer. The hotpot asserted turning for home and kept on well in the closing stages to post a cosy three-and-a-quarter length success. “She’s a very very quick filly and she’s her own worst enemy at the minute,” said Carroll afterwards. “She loves this surface and hit the line very strong. “Hopefully next year, when she gets a bit stronger and she mentally matures a bit, she could develop into a nicer type of filly.” On the horse tackling her early on he added:- “He was going quick to lie up with me. In fairness my one picked up and she went to the line well.”
