Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 30, 2019 Journalists Share Posted June 30, 2019 Last year’s G1 Prix du Jockey Club winner Study Of Man (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) has failed to get his head in front in five starts since then but his connections have not lost faith in the 4-year-old. The Pascal Bary trained colt has posted two encouraging displays this season, finishing second to Waldgeist (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) in the G1 Prix Ganay before hitting the cross bar in the G1 Prix d’Ispahan when second to Zabeel Prince (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). That race was over nine furlongs and plans are afoot to try Study Of Man over a furlong shorter. “We’ve been very pleased with his runs so far this season, so if all goes well we are planning to drop him back to a mile,” Alan Cooper, racing manager to the Niarchos family said. “We’re looking at the Prix Messidor at Maisons-Laffitte on July 21, and all being well he could be pointed to the Jacques le Marois after that. I think he could be coming back to his best – the feeling from Pascal [Bary] and Stephane Pasquier is that he’s improving with age. It will be his first start over that distance since he was a 2-year-old and it opens up more options,” Cooper added.
