Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 31, 2022 Journalists Posted August 31, 2022 Crack Australasian mare Verry Elleegant (NZ) (Zed {NZ}) will return to the racecourse on Arc trials weekend in either the G1 Prix Vermeille or the G2 Prix Foy on Sept. 11, trainer Francis-Henri Graffard revealed. The dark bay was last of seven in her first Northern Hemisphere run, the G1 Prix Jean Romanet, earlier this month. Depending on how the 11-time Group 1 winner performs in September in those 1 1/2-mile races will determine if she will step out in the Oct. 2 G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. “She has come on a lot from the race,” Graffard said. “She will run next weekend at Longchamp, either in the Prix Vermeille or the Prix Foy. She will come on a lot, she will be better over an extra two furlongs and on softer ground.” Originally announced as her reason for traveling to the Northern Hemisphere, the Arc is not among Verry Elleegant's entries at present. If connections do opt for the ParisLongchamp showpiece, she would need to be supplemented on Sept. 28. The trainer added, “We will run next weekend and then we will see what to do.” The post Verry Elleegant To Return On Arc Trials Day appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
