Despite the contrasting ground conditions to the easy turf he encountered 12 months ago and the obvious questions posed by defeat in the June 19 G1 King's Stand S. at Royal Ascot, the bay attracted heavy support as the 8-11 favourite and was in front before he had raced two...

At the last two sales at Arqana, October and December, things got a little simpler at the former Haras de la Reboursiere et de Montaigu, or at least for those English-speaking salesgoers looking to remember the name of the popular French consignor. In October, the farm and consignment reverted to its original name and will now be simply known as Haras de Montaigu. Other changes are afoot as well at the century-plus owned family operation.

Come Deauville August, Freddy Head always has his runners at a peak and it was the Wertheimers' Polydream (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}) who was spinning the magic in Sunday's G1 LARC Prix Maurice de Gheest. Following the previous Sunday's G1 Prix Rothschild victory of stablemate With You (GB) (Dansili {GB}), she managed to overhaul one of the strongest fields assembled for this unique sprint in many years and continue the yard's 100 per-cent record in the meeting's premier races.

Reclaiming lives and starring in the movies are all part of a program for off-track Thoroughbreds in Italy.
