Bow Echo provides Boughey and Loughnane with 2000 Guineas glory

By Racing TV

Last Updated: Sat 2 May 2026

Bow Echoran out a brilliant winner of the Betfred 2000 Guineas at Newmarket for trainer George Boughey and jockey Billy Loughnane.

Unbeaten as a two-year-old, the Night Of Thunder colt – bred by his late owner Sheikh Mohammed Obaid – was always travelling supremely well, with the field splitting into two groups.

He came to join battle with 3-1 joint-favourite Gstaad and coming out of the dip it was Loughnane’s mount who proved the strongest, powering to a two-and-three-quarter-length victory at 9-2, with the pair eight lengths clear of the other market leader, Distant Storm.
