Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 14, 2022 Journalists Share Posted July 14, 2022 Unleashing his deadly acceleration to maximum effect at a ParisLongchamp blessed by evening sun, TDN Rising Star Onesto (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) stormed into the big time in Thursday's G1 Grand Prix de Paris. This type of performance had looked on the cards after his scintillating win in the 10 1/2-furlong G2 Prix Greffulhe at Saint-Cloud May 8 and highly commendable effort from a horror draw when fifth in the Prix du Jockey-Club and the Fabrice Chappet-trained chestnut who sported the colours of Gerard Augustin-Normand for the first time was made the 10-3 favourite by the knowledgeable crowd. Anchored last early by Stephane Pasquier having run freely to post, he proved perfectly tractable in the race and saved energy for the burst that is already his trademark over this 12-furlong trip that was certain to play to his strengths. Producing a 11.09 penultimate sectional to overhaul the long-time leader Simca Mille (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}) a furlong from home, the first group 1 winner for his breeder Diamond Creek Farm denied that rallying rival by a neck, with the Prix du Jockey-Club runner-up El Bodegon (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) 2 1/2 lengths back in third.
