'Just a proper horse' - Poetic Flare brings more 2000 Guineas joy for Jim Bolger

Poetic Flare, trained by Jim Bolger and ridden by Kevin Manning, has won the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.

Jockey Kevin Manning celebrates winning the Qipco 2000 Guineas Stakes on Poetic Flare during 2000 Guineas Day, part of the QIPCO Guineas Festival at Newmarket Racecourse.

Veteran jockey Kevin Manning was thrilled to secure his fourth British Classic success as Poetic Flare came out on top in a pulsating renewal of the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.

At the age of 54, Manning is the oldest jockey to win the Rowley Mile showpiece since Lester Piggott steered Rodrigo De Triano to success in 1992, aged 56.
