Clodovil’s Tiger Tanaka Takes the Marcel Boussac

[Wandering Eyes]

Following the enforced withdrawal of the hot favourite Pretty Gorgeous (Fr) (Lawman {Fr}) from Sunday’s G1 Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac, the race had opened up and it was another Rossi-trained juvenile who emerged triumphant in Tiger Tanaka (Ire) (Clodovil {Ire}). Coming here on the back of success in the G3 Prix Francois Boutin on heavy ground at Deauville Aug. 16, Miguel Castro Megias’s bay who represents Charley Rossi had suffered just one career defeat when third in the six-furlong G2 Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly July 19 but started at a big 8-1. Placed on the rail early by the trainer’s wife Jessica Marcialis in a share of fourth, she was in front with 300 metres remaining and comfortably in command from there en route to a 3/4-of-a-length verdict over Tasmania (Fr) (Zoffany {Ire}), with the Cedric Rossi-trained Rougir (Fr) (Territories {Ire}) making it a big day for Haras de la Gousserie 1 1/2 lengths away in third.
