Grand Prix de Paris Number 14 for Fabre as Sea The Stars’ Sosie Strikes

[Wandering Eyes]

Winning ParisLongchamp's G1 Grand Prix de Paris for the 14th time, Andre Fabre was also ending a drought of 10 years since the last as the Wertheimers' Sosie (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}–Sosia {Ger}, by Shamardal) prevailed on Saturday evening. Third in the G1 Prix du Jockey Club last time, the homebred became the latest to emerge to bestow extra gravity on that Chantilly Classic as he swept by his contemporaries up this hallowed straight. Ideally placed in fourth early by Maxime Guyon, the 5-2 second favourite took over 1 1/2 furlongs from home and stayed on powerfully to emerge the two-length winner. Ballydoyle's G2 Queen's Vase scorer Illinois (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) was second, a neck in front of Coolmore's previously-unbeaten favourite Delius (GB) (Frankel {GB}).
