Siyouni’s Mqse De Sevigne doubles up in the Rothschild

[Wandering Eyes]

Placing her name among some of the elite to have graced Deauville's August Festival, Baron Edouard De Rothschild's Mqse De Sevigne (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}–Penne {Fr}, by Sevres Rose {Ire}) made it a third group 1 at the meeting as she recorded back-to-back renewals of the G1 Prix Rothschild on Sunday. Sent off the 7-10 favourite as the race's undisputed leading lady having also garnered last year's G1 Prix Jean Romanet here and this term's G1 Prix d'Ispahan at ParisLongchamp, the Andre Fabre-trained homebred was allowed to coast behind the early leaders by Alexis Pouchin. Handing Excellent Truth (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}) first run approaching the final furlong, the 5-year-old was able to head that rival soon after without serious effort before readily asserting for a length success. Rogue Millennium (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) was in turn 1 1/2 lengths behind in third.

“To win this race, which honours our family and my ancestors, is always great,” De Rothschild said. “She showed earlier this season that she had improved more from four to five and it is not a surprise, as she hails from a late-maturing family. She fully dominated today, it was quite impressive. As we said before, we will go with the program we have mapped out for her which is the Prix Jean Romanet here again as last year and then the Arc.”
