Poetic Flare poised for second leg of Guineas treble mission
Sat 15 May 2021
Poetic Flare goes for the second leg of what could be a remarkable Guineas treble at ParisLongchamp on Sunday.
The three-year-old emulated his sire Dawn Approach in winning the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket for trainer Jim Bolger and he turns out just a fortnight later for the French equivalent – the Emirates Poule d’Essai des Poulains.
Bolger is hoping his exciting colt can double his Classic tally before potentially bidding for a hat-trick in the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas next weekend.
“He’s come of Newmarket well,” said the Coolcullen handler.

Classic trials day at Longchamp frequently throws up as many questions as answers but, while connections associated with the fillies that fought out a blanket finish to the Prix de la Grotte can keep dreaming for another month, Policy Of Truth and Sealiway separated themselves from the pack ahead of the Emirates Poule d Essai des Poulains (French 2,000 Guineas).
The imposing Policy Of Truth and Maxime Guyon got the better of the argument in the Prix de Fontainebleau and it is a small miracle that Pia and Joakim Brandt were able to win a Group 3 with him at two, given his size and scope.
