It’s a shame that Sariska will bow out with those two refusals on her CV. That was an interesting race to watch, Queally always well positioned on Midday as opposed to the rider on Sarafina, who rode his filly almost as if he wanted to save her for three weeks time, only asking her to move up from the rear about 1½f from the finish (when it was all over).
It was interesting! – how nobody picked up on the run of ‘Sara Lynx’ to either crab the form or ask…
just how good is the unbeaten Fabre filly then? – If the form is to be believed?!like the poster i too didn`t see enough in the run of SARAFINA when she got first run on her stablemate ROSANARA, if these 2 met again i would have taken the latter to reverse

When all the focus was on ‘Rosie’ he let it be known that he had one better at home who was unraced – that was ‘Sara’!
It’s quiet funny as G Mosse also said that she was better than ‘Zainta’…

Monday 3, Chantilly. In the minutes before the prices Sandstone (F – 3F – 1,600 m), swelled a rumor: it was to attend the debut of a high quality filly, Sarafina…
the result, it is a flight. Impressive! For comparison, it covers the 1,600 meters round the track in a total time of 1’41”7 where the colts have the previous seven tenths of a second slower. And when one knows that one has won relaxed when others have struggled to post …
After her Diana Price win:
Accustomed to shine at the highest level, Alain de Royer Dupre was appreciative: "Sarafina is a classy filly. In a few strides it has made the difference over its rivals.
