New duel between Dreamflight and Mister Saint Paul

Chantilly, Tuesday, 10 May: A Group 3 test for three-year-old stallions will be held today in Chantilly with the Prix de Guiche (4th race/15.29 h/80,000 Euro/1800 m). Four of the seven participants contested the Prix la Force (Group 3) in Longchamp.

In a leggy battle for victory, the great outsider Mister Saint Paul (Theo Bachelot) kept the upper hand against Dreamflight (Olivier Peslier), finishing one length ahead of Valmer Magic (Marie Velon). Machete (Sylvain Ruis) had no better options in fifth. Thus, the result from the Prix Omnium II (Listed race) on 19 March was completely turned upside down. At that time, Dreamflight won narrowly against Valmer Magic and Mister Saint Paul only remained in fourth place. Before that, Machte won the Prix Maurice Caillault (Listed race) against Implementation (Maxime Guyon). The latter last tried his hand at Newcastle, where he finished fifth on the list. Jean-Claude Rouget saddled Vadeni (Christophe Soumillon) and Kotari (Coralie Pacaut), two horses with good chances, but who have not yet won this year.
