French Classics Still The Aim For Persian King

Trainer Andre Fabre said the defection of Too Darn Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) from the G1 2000 Guineas won’t have an affect on the Classic plans of Persian King (Ire) (Kingman {GB}). Godolphin and Ballymore Thoroughbreds’s representative won the G3 Autumn S. at Newmarket last fall but Fabre said the only development that would sway his decision to point the ‘TDN Rising Star’ toward the G1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains-and ultimately the G1 Prix du Jockey Club-would be a downpour in Newmarket.

“Too Darn Hot not running doesn’t make a difference, really,” said Fabre. “I’ve made my decision already, the only factor which would make me change my mind is if we got a change in the weather. If it started to rain for a whole week at Newmarket I might think again but it doesn’t look like it will.

“He’ll run in the Poulains first and then the Prix du Jockey Club, which is always the race I’ve thought of for him but he can certainly run in the Poulains as well.”

Of Persian King’s five-length win in the G3 Prix de Fontainebleau on Apr. 14, Fabre said, “He was impressive the other day, he made the others look ordinary which is the mark of a good horse.”
