Kingman puts the record straight
There had been no disgrace in finishing second to Night Of Thunder in a tactical 2000 Guineas, but the jockey clearly felt there was still a point to prove on the racecourse and the dispatch of his Richard Hannon-trained rival was as clinical as it had been on their earlier meeting in the Greenham Stakes.
Night Of Thunder surprisingly took the lead under Richard Hughes instead of stablemate Toormore, and while the 8-11 favourite Kingman had some ground to make up with a furlong remaining, he completed it so easily Doyle was looking over his shoulder crossing the line with two and a quarter lengths in hand.
