Dream outcome to Champion Bumper is one to remember

Winning owner J P McManus and connections celebrate in the winner’s enclosure after A Dream To Share won the Champion Bumper

An 85-year-old trainer and an 18-year-old jockey combined to give racing’s most famous owner a landmark 70th Cheltenham Festival success when the aptly named A Dream To Share stormed to a thrilling Weatherbys Champion Bumper success.

Veteran Dungarvan trainer John Kiely has won many big races throughout a long and distinguished career but a Festival success was a notable omission.
