Highly regarded by Pascal Bary, World Heritage was sent off the 14-5 second choice here and was allowed time throughout the first half of the race to move up to a close second as Rock of Nassau (Fr) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}) dictated a steady tempo. Once into top gear, the homebred gained the advantage passing the eighth pole and asserted close home to score by a short neck. “He is a late-maturing horse who has always shown a lot of ability but was very green today,” his trainer said. “I am sure he can improve a lot from that and hopefully make up into a nice runner.” The winner is a full to Kalabar (GB), GSW-Fr, $155,335; and a half to Zambezi Sun (GB) (Dansili {GB}), G1SW-Fr, $825,073.
