Nursery winner completes double for Hogan & McAuley After Dontspoilasale's win in the previous race, trainer Denis Hogan and owner James McAuley completed a quick double when Badger's Cove justified 6/4 favouritism in the View Restaurant At Dundalk Stadium Nursery. Third on his previous two outings, the Bangkok gelding was fitted with blinkers for the first time and led early on before settling in behind Manifest Destiny who dictated a steady pace once taking up the running after a couple of furlongs. Ridden to lead again over a furlong out, the winner was ridden clear by Colin Keane to post a two and a half lengths victory over Manifest Destiny. McAuley said: "He was a bit sloppy the last time (third) with no headgear. It was just messy on his first run for us and he had been gelded. "We weren't even in Fairyhouse the day that we claimed him (from Kevin Coleman), he flashed home in third and we just took a chance. We register for claimers every morning, so we took him." When asked if he has been active at the sales, he replied: "I think we have bought seven over the space of two weeks, not claimers. "We bought three down in Goffs at the sale last week, horses in training. We bought one over in England, and one yearling for next year. All will be with Denis. "We play trainer up here, but he (Hogan) does the work! We have always got on well, it is a good combination." Additional reporting by Michael Graham
