Successful on heavy ground over seven furlongs at Listowel at the end of May, Deauville demonstrated his versatility by upstaging the hot favorite Sanus Per Aquam after a thrilling stretch-long duel in this important juvenile contest. Settled in third by Joseph O’Brien in the slipstream of that TDN Rising Star, who had broken tardily before being rushed up to race behind his rabbit Gleine (Ire) (Vocalised), the bay was traveling the worse of the pair as Kevin Manning committed with 2 1/2 furlongs remaining. What he lacked in instant speed Deauville made up for in courage and he responded to his rider’s urgings to get almost on par a furlong later and he continued to harass the market leader from there. Finally getting the upper hand 100 yards out, he asserted for an ultimately comfortable verdict as they drew clear of the remainder. “He won nicely in Listowel and Seamus [Heffernan] felt there was a lot of progression in him,” Joseph O’Brien explained. “His work had been nice, but he was quite green throughout and I was niggling along. I knew there was plenty in the locker and once we straightened up and I got a couple of flicks into him, he fought all the way to the line. I’d imagine there is a lot of improvement in him. Today he was far from his peak, so he’s an exciting horse going forward.” Aidan O’Brien, who was equaling Jim Bolger’s record of nine winners of this race, having saddled some of his top colts to succeed in recent times such as King of Kings (Ire), Rip Van Winkle (Ire), Cape Blanco (Ire) and Gleneagles (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), added, “The plan was to go the Chesham [at Royal Ascot], but gave a couple of coughs two days before that so didn’t go and had a little rest. Joseph said he’s still a baby, but when he wanted him to he stuck his head out very well. Jim’s horse is very good and it was a great race with two colts joined together off a strong pace. We are delighted with him and look forward to the next day. He won’t mind when he does step up to a mile, but he’s a strong compact colt who looks like one who doesn’t need to go too far. There is a strong possibility that he will go for the G2 Futurity S. [at The Curragh Aug. 23] next.”
