Wertheimer Colt Wiki Shades Informative Heat At Saint-Cloud

[Wandering Eyes]

Thursday's Prix Suave Dancer at Saint-Cloud featured some exciting newcomers from the leading operations and it was the two Wertheimer colts who came to the fore with Wiki (Make Believe) emerging on top.

Sent off at 18-1 for the 10-furlong contest, the Christophe Ferland-trained Wiki raced towards the rear throughout the early stages before being delivered wide in the straight. Gaining the edge over the Wertheimer first-string and Prix du Jockey Club entry Overnight (Night Of Thunder) passing the furlong pole, the homebred showed grit to prevail by a short neck.

There was another 3 1/2 lengths back to Juddmonte's long-time leader Swift Magic (Frankel) and a further five to The Aga Khan Studs runner Derawar (Night Of Thunder) in a race run four seconds faster than the fillies' version earlier on the card.

The winner is the last foal out of the dam, who was successful in the Listed Prix Coronation and produced the Listed-placed filly Ondulee (Adlerflug) before sadly dying three years ago. The family features the Preis der Diana heroine Well Timed (Holy Roman Emperor), the Hong Kong Cup hero Akeed Mofeed (Dubawi) and the Niarchos heavyweight Hernando.

A nice result for the Wertheimers!
