Saxon Warrior / Caroline NorrisVia Tom Fry
It was packed late Sunday G3 Prix Miesque at Chantilly, but RT Racing Stable’s Moon Rays (Fr) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}) had nose 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 tracking on October 8, the chestnut coached by Nicolas Clement was able to turn that around thanks to Stephane Pasquier for a perfect speed assessment. 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.
