Feed The Flame To Prep For The Arc In The Prix Niel

Kingman (GB)'s Group 1 winner Feed The Flame (GB) will prepare for a start in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in September's G2 Prix Niel, according to trainer Pascal Bary.

All three of the colt's wins have come at ParisLongchamp, with a winning April debut parlayed into another victory in a Class 2 affair later that month. The 'TDN Rising Star' ran fourth in the G1 Prix du Jockey Club in June, prior to bouncing back in the Grand Prix du Paris on Bastille Day.

“Tres bien, he is very well,” said Chantilly-based Bary of the Jean-Louis Bouchard runner. “He's to run on the 10th of September in the Prix Niel. He needs that [run over course and distance] before the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. He knows the course very well now, he has won there three times.”
