Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 30, 2022 Journalists Posted June 30, 2022 Verry Elleegant (NZ) (Zed {NZ}) could make her first European start in August as her new trainer Francis-Henri Graffard revealed he is considering a bid for the G1 Prix Rothschild at Deauville. A sensation in Australia, Verry Elleegant won 11 Group One races- including the Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup-under the care of Chris Waller before it was announced in April that she would continue her career in France. The G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and the G1 Fillies & Mares Stakes on Qipco British Champions Day at Ascot were mentioned as possible targets when Verry Elleegant was transferred to Graffard's base. However, Graffard is keen to take the wraps off Verry Elleegant in the Prix Rothschild before committing to plans beyond Deauville. He said, “She is well, she might be ready for the Prix Rothschild at Deauville on August 2. That will be her first start and then we will take it from there.” The post Verry Elleegant Set To Begin European Campaign In Prix Rothschild appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
