First Black Type Winner For Soldier’s Call

[Wandering Eyes]

Ballyhane Stud's first-crop sire Soldier's Call (GB) had his first black-type winner on Saturday as Dawn Charger (Ire) captured Chantilly's G3 Prix Eclipse. Runner-up in ParisLongchamp's G3 Prix d'Arenberg over five furlongs last month, Saif Mohammad Alketbi and Elaine Burke's €40,000 Tatts Ireland September graduate travelled easily for Pierre-Louis Jamin close to the pace returning to six. In front before two out, the 9-2 shot found the line a neck ahead of the strong-finishing Laulne (Fr) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) to cap a stellar week for the Karl Burke stable.
