Dandy Man Colt Takes The Prix Du Bois

[Wandering Eyes]

There was a familiar story at Chantilly on Sunday as Karl Burke plundered another French prestige prize courtesy of the colt Arabie (GB) (Dandy Man {Ire}) who proved toughest in a pure speed shakedown in the G3 Prix du Bois Longines. Up with the pace set by the favourite Daylight (Fr) (Earthlight {Ire}), Mohammed Al Shahi's York novice winner was under the pump by halfway with Jim Crowley digging in to reserves but where the filly cried enough a furlong out the boy from the North of England held out. Tiring in the closing stages to allow the closer Secret Wood (Fr) (Birchwood {Ire}) to within 1 1/4 lengths at the line, the 11-2 shot had two lengths in total to spare over the burnt-out 11-10 favourite Daylight in third.
