    French races are well re known for a slower pace, should have gone to Newmarket Brian.. if you need a race planner pal.. :scratch:

    Meehan said: “We were a bit frustrated by the lack of pace, especially in the first part of the race. It wasn’t fast enough for him, but he ran very well.

    “I’m delighted for the horse, for his owner and for the team at home.

    “He hasn’t shown the full extent of his talent yet. The best is yet to come, especially in races where there will be more pace.”

    Tbf it is a bit like saying: “We were a bit frustrated to find we were in another country.”

    I thought they went an okay pace in the early stages
    he’s had plenty of time to hit top gear but as AP feared earlier in the thread ran out of steam a little at the end

    I really fancied Knight to win this today as he didn’t get any sort of race behind the riderless Chaldean in the Greenham.
    Unfortunately he was withdrawn at the start so never got a chance to see how he would have faired against Isaac Shelby and the winner. He was drifting in the betting before the withdrawal so something was not right.

    Really enjoyed watching the three Group 1s at the exquisitely-landscaped Longchamp – almost, but not quite, wished I was there.

    Blue Rose Cen the highlight and tbh I thought she won the better race.
