Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 27, 2019 Journalists Share Posted June 27, 2019 The Jean Claude Rouget trained Sottsass (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) who lowered the colours of Persian King (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) in the G1 QIPCO Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly earlier this month will take a mid-season break from racing. The Peter Brant owned colt will be trained with the G1 Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe as his main aim and will take in an autumn trial beforehand. “He’s fine and is still in work,” his trainer said. “The plan is for the autumn – the [Prix] Niel and the Arc. The Niel will be his next race,” Rouget added. Sottsass has yet to race over further than ten furlongs but is bred to cope with the Arc trip and Rouget foresees no problems on that front, especially as his half-sister Sistercharlie (Ire), who is by a speed influence in Myboycharlie (Ire), won the GI Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf over a mile and three furlongs last year. “Normally, I think he will get the trip,” Rouget said succinctly.
