Rothschild Glory For Zoffany’s Mother Earth

[Wandering Eyes]

It was tight at the finish of Deauville's G1 Prix Rothschild on Tuesday, but when the going gets tough you can rely on Mother Earth (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) to give her all and that was enough to provide Aidan O'Brien with another highlight in France this year. Admirably consistent since her success in the G1 1000 Guineas at Newmarket May 2, the 19-10 favourite who was a latest runner-up in the G1 Falmouth S. on Newmarket's July Course July 9 was happy to follow the leaders early and when Ryan Moore asked the question she gained a narrow lead on the stand's side with 300 metres remaining and battled all the way to the line. There was a head to Sagamiyra (Fr) (Sea the Moon {Ger}) in second, with a short head separating her and Speak of the Devil (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) as Rougir (Fr) (Territories {Ire}) was also involved in the four-way go the same margin away.
