Lord Charming in the La Coupe

Longchamp, Sunday, June 12: The La Coupe (6th race/16.25 h/80,000 Euro/2000 m), which belongs to Group 3, will be run at the same time as the German 1000 Guineas taking place in Düsseldorf. Annoying for trainer Peter Schiergen, who will probably only be able to follow the performance of Lord Charming (Cristian Demuro) on the sidelines. The Charm Spirit son last ran in Milan and was third in the picture. Among his fiercest rivals is Kertez (Maxime Guyon), unbeaten in three appearances this year, from the stable of Andre Fabre. Hurricane Dream (Theo Bachelot) met expectations in third in the Prix du Muguet (Group 2) after disappointing last in the Prix d`Harcourt (Group 2) behind Mr de Pourceaugnac (Mickael Barzalona), among others. The latter did not prevail in the Prix d`Hedouville (Group 3). Andreas Schütz` Monty (Olivier Peslier) narrowly missed victory in the Défi du Galop. Baby Rider (Gerald Mosse), who was at least in the `Arc de Triomphe` and finished fifth in the Grand Prix de Paris (Group 1), earned his money this year in smaller tasks. Investor (Christophe Soumillon) deserves a mention as a double winner.
