Brits Complete Arqana Series Domination As Cape Orator Takes The Criterium D’Ete

[Wandering Eyes]

Britain's clean sweep of Deauville's valuable juvenile Arqana Series races was completed in style on Thursday by Valmont's Cape Orator (Mohaather) in the 6 1/2-furlong Criterium d'Ete. Off the mark for the Ralph Beckett stable at Kempton in June, the 15-1 shot cut loose approaching the final furlong and surged to a 3 1/2-length verdict over Street Show (Showcasing), the only French-trained two-year-old to make the first two in the trio of sales races.

“We've always thought he was a very good horse, it's just taken a long time for him to mature,” jockey Hector Crouch said.
