    <b class=”font-size-150″>A few people have mentioned this horse on this forum already.

    Its a French horse only had the 3 runs but won them o so impresively. Runs in the French 2000 Guineas, which it will start strong favourite, prob win by half the track <!– s:) –>:)<!– s:) –>.

    Billed as the next big thing.

    Thoughts??

    She’s running in the Pouliches. Her sire Deep Impact has made an excellent start at stud but has had very few runners outside Japan. Her dam won a listed race but she doesn’t have an abundance of black type relatives close up in her pedigree. She holds an entry in the Coronation Stakes but if she wins on Sunday, she will probably be aimed at the Diane. Having said that most of Deep Impact’s runners are best at 8-9f, even with broodmares whose stallions have a greater influence for stamina than Giant’s Causeway.

    Following her Prix De La Grotte win Soumillon said she shouls try the rare Diane/French Derby double last completed in 1863. Unusually this year the races are separated by two weeks so it would be nice to see her attempt it if she wins well tomorrow.

    Can’t say I was overly impressed and to be honest I don’t really like her

    That was not a good race by any stretch of the imagination, the 2nd well been beaten in a listed race since.

    Hard to tell how good the opposition is today but I assume it will be a bit better being a Group 1.

    She’s no Zarkava IMO

    Yeah did it well, Soumillon didnt have to get too serious on it.
    Just a few question marks over the opposition but does look an extremely good filly in the making.
    Probably come to Ascot next, should be interesting!!!!

    Wow, that was a timid effort today. Not one for me.

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    Too bad to be true in the Sun Chariot or it’s just possible that she has had enough…..fair play to Francome though who said she wouldn’t act on the Rowley mile.

    It is possible Johnny is right, she didn’t act on the course. But why has she been off the track for so long? Has Beauty Parlour had a physical problem? If so was she over it? Was she fit?

    Silly price today, assumed Sir Henry had improved her. There were several question marks.

    Agreed – it is easy to be wise after the event but I did say as much in my DLP’s thread. Her form was actually not that great when you really looked at it and she had lots of question marks to answer today not least the ground and the long lay off.

    Just goes to show again that we should be careful of judging a horse just because they have won a high profile race. She had won the French Guineas but she had only beaten Up a length. Up had proven to be a better horse over further. Not dissimilar from Camelot who, though he had won a Guineas and a Derby, had beaten absolutely nothing.

    How horses are keeping/losing their coats will be important in the coming weeks Aji.

    Agreed Ginger and Aji..
    Lot of hype leading up to this race and thought Beauty Parlour very unimpressive in the parade ring with signs of winter coat coming through.

    In contrast the french challenger Siyouma caught the eye immediately, a big tall filly she outshone her rivals in the paddock.

    Elusive Kate extremely unlucky to spread a plate in the race, she returned to the winners enclosure sporting a taped up right hoof and a large grass mark just above it where she had almost gone down coming out of the stalls. Connections very long faced, I think she would have won without that incident. She looked pretty sore as she was led away.
