Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 4, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 4, 2018 The G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot on June 22 could bring together the winner of each of the three main European 1000 Guineas’. In addition to this fascinating prospect a number of fillies that were narrowly beaten in those events will also be targeting the race and among these is the Andre Fabre trained Wind Chimes (GB) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) who was beaten just a neck when third to Teppal (Fr) (Camacho {GB}) in the G1 The Emirates Poule d’Essai des Pouliches at ParisLongchamp. “She will go for the Coronation Stakes,” her trainer said on Monday. “She’s training well and I’m very happy with her. I thought she ran a good race in the Pouliches and she took a big step forward from her trial, like I thought she would do,” Fabre added.

Meanwhile Andre Fabre is struggling to get last year’s G1 Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe runner up Cloth Of Stars (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) back firing on all cylinders after the colt’s tame effort in sixth behind stable-mate Waldgeist (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) in the G2 Grand Prix de Chantilly on Sunday. “Nothing has really shown up. I put the hood on him but unfortunately it worked too well and he was asleep. Perhaps he’s a bit jaded, I don’t know. I’ll discuss plans with his owner [Godolphin], he might have a break or even be retired, we’ll see,” Fabre said of the 5-year-old entire.
