Mac Swiney touches off Poetic Flare to give Bolger first 2000 Guineas win
JUST UP: Rory Cleary and MacSwiney just edges Kevin Manning on Poetic Flair in Saturday's Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh.
Veteran trainer Jim Bolger secured an overdue first win in the Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas when Mac Swiney touched off stablemate Poetic Flare in a thrilling finish to the 100th running of the first Irish Classic of the season.
It was reported, a couple of weeks ago, that Bolger said he could win the Newmarket 2000 Guineas with whichever of Mac Swiney or Poetic Flare he sent to England.
