Race Commentary
The most abandoned in betting, the outsider Mr. Saint Paul (pictured) won the Strength Prize, this Sunday at ParisLongchamp. Quickly in good standing, the resident ofEtienne & Gregoire Leenders took the advantage 300 meters from the post, then he was very brave to repel the fine attack of DREAMFLIGHT. VALMER MAGIC finished well in the wake of the first two, taking an encouraging third place. In slight retreat, TUMBLERwho had led, finished fourth ahead of MACHETE.
Etienne Leenders said: “We came because we thought the ground would be heavy. But like all good horses, he adapts to anything. The only time he had a bad race was when we got him mounted at the back. That had upset him. When he took the lead, he showed that he is very tough. For him, it will be more the Jockey Club than the Poule d’Essai.”
Words (excerpts) from Theo Bachelot : “The last time was over 1600 meters and he hadn’t let go. Today he did it as a very catchy colt.”
