Hong Kong Next Target For Arc Third Sosie

[Wandering Eyes]

Wertheimer et Frere homebred Sosie, third in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, is pointing to the G1 Hong Kong Vase, trainer Andre Fabre announced. The three-time Group 1-winning son of Sea The Stars was slated to retire at the end of the season.

“He ran his race [in the Arc], he ran right up to his form. The plan with him now is to go to Hong Kong,” said Fabre, who has won the Vase three times with Borgia (Acatenango) (1999), Flintshire (Dansili) (2014) and Junko (Intello) (2023).

A winner of the 2024 G1 Grand Prix de Paris, Sosie won both the G1 Prix Ganay and the G1 Prix d'Ispahan this term, and he was second in his Arc warmup in the G2 Prix Foy. He ran fourth in the Arc in 2024.

The trainer also had updates on his fellow Arc runner and G2 Prix Niel scorer Caulificar (Lope De Vega) and G2 Prix du Calvados heroine My Highness (Ghaiyyath), both of whom are done for the year. They are colourbearers for Godolphin.

“Caulificar was very unlucky in the Arc, he got pushed out very wide. We've put him away for next year when he should have a good season,” said Fabre.

“We were thinking of supplementing her [My Highness] for [the G1 Fillies' Mile at] Newmarket, but she started to go in her coat so she has been put away for the winter now. She has every reason to train on.”
