Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 20, 2024 Journalists Share Posted October 20, 2024 Sunday's G2 Prix du Conseil de Paris at ParisLongchamp witnessed the return of the King George hero Goliath (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}–Gouache {Ger}, by Shamardal) and it was a case of plain sailing as he successfully prepped for the G1 Japan Cup. Always in cruise mode under Christophe Soumillon tracking the modest pace, the 6-5 favourite tanked his way to the front two out and was always holding Hamish (GB) (Motivator {GB}) comfortably at bay en route to a half-length success. “After the minor setback he had in September we had no other choice than this race to give him a prep before the Japan Cup and it worked out really well,” trainer Francis-Henri Graffard said. “Christophe knows how to handle him and he will come on a lot for that. I am happy for his new part-owner Mr Stewart, a very enthusiastic person who has a new vision about what racing should be. We look forward to the race in Japan with enthusiasm as a new step in the career of this horse who has great potential on the international circuit for older horses.” Back with a bang!
