Frankel One-Two In the Vanteaux

[Wandering Eyes]

It was all about Frankel in Sunday's G3 Prix Vanteaux at ParisLongchamp as he supplied the first two fillies home in this early Prix de Diane pointer. While the market spoke very much in the favour of Petricor (GB) who was carrying the Juddmonte livery, it was the 14-1 shot Rumi (Fr) who had first run on that rival to prevail. Racing for Al Shira'aa Farms, the latter who had won in impressive style on her sole 2-year-old start over this course and distance in October and who was fourth only eight days ago over 10 1/2 furlongs at Saint-Cloud was positioned in a close-up second with the tempo only tepid. Olivier Peslier had five lengths in hand on the 7-5 favourite Petricor as a result and despite the effort of Pierre-Charles Boudot she was unable to claw it all back in the final furlong. At the line, there was a 3/4-of-a-length margin between them, with Omnia Munda Mundis (GB) (Australia {GB}) the same margin away in third.
