Chantilly's Tuesday card opened with a fascinating newcomers' event and played host to a winner with considerable promise in the Wertheimers' Uther (GB) (Camelot {GB}–Sosia {Ger}, by Shamardal). A half-brother to this year's G1 Grand Prix de Paris hero and G1 Prix du Jockey Club third Sosie (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), the Christophe Ferland-trained homebred sauntered in behind the early leader for Maxime Guyon enjoying perfect cover. Taking control approaching the furlong pole thanks to a sharp 10.84 penultimate split, the 8-5 favourite finished off with a finale in 10.75 to wrap it up. At the culmination of the 9 1/2-furlong contest, there was a length between him and the Juddmonte representative Zatsgood (GB) (Frankel {GB}).
One to look forward to next year!
