Pouliches Glory For Camacho’s Teppal

[Wandering Eyes]

With the G1 The Emirates Poule d’Essai des Pouliches switched to ParisLongchamp’s Grande Piste, or outer track, due to concerns about the ground it was all straightforward in the race itself with Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Thani’s unbeaten Teppal (Fr) (Camacho {GB}) providing her owner with a second renewal after Flotilla (Fr) (Mizzen Mast) in 2013. Always handy under Olivier Peslier, the 11-1 shot had to angle out for her finishing effort and after hitting the front a furlong from home battled courageously to ward off a blanket of rivals in a finale typical of these Classics. At the line, there was a short neck back to Coeur de Beaute (Fr) (Dabirsim {Fr}) in second, with Wind Chimes (GB) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) coming from wide and far back to be a head behind in third.
