It was packed late Sunday G3 Prix Miesque at Chantilly, but RT Racing Stable’s Moon Rays (Fr) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn} –Demeanour, of the Giant’s Causeway) put her nose in front, where it played a key role in providing her owner with a landmark success in Europe. There is separation Eternal Dance (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and Lady Mia (Fr) (Beyond {GB}) in second place in the listed Saraca Prix on this seven-time trip and track October 8, the chestnut coached by Nicolas Clement was able to turn that around thanks to Stephane Pasquier rates speed perfectly.
Substituted at midweight to the original rail, the 5-1 shot needed a straight shot as Lady Mia running ahead eliminated all the other challengers and it arrived just in time for her to take down. That opponent stays close to home and dominates in an undulating finish. The 9-5 favorite Eternal Dance has too many points to make up for, takes too long to reach the top stride, and is well over half the length in third place.
“She is the avid 55,000 October Arqana, a bargain – you couldn’t ask for more. She’ll probably be back in a trial in Guineas and we’ll find out if we’re going to go buy Pouliches,” Clement said. “The first three fills in the prep are the first three here, so it shows they’re consistent and tough. I am very happy for the owner, who started with the horses two years ago in New York with my brother. “
