Outstrip’s Tigrais Prevails in ParisLongchamp’s G3 Prix La Rochette

[Wandering Eyes]

Sunday's mouthwatering feast of pattern-race action got going with ParisLongchamp's G3 Prix La Rochette and there was a surprise in store as last month's Deauville maiden winner Tigrais (Fr) (Outstrip {GB}–Maharana {Fr}, by Iffraaj {GB} swooped late to deny 'TDN Rising Star' Breizh Sky (Fr) (Pedro The Great) for a career high in the seven-furlong contest for juveniles. She had opened up with a July 17 debut seventh, behind the 'TDN Rising Star' display of Alia's Rose (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), over seven furlongs at Chantilly and had changed owners since notching her breakthrough score last time. The 19-5 chance lurched from the traps and raced off the pace, adrift of the clear leader, in fourth through halfway. Inching closer in the straight, she came under pressure with 300 metres remaining and kept on relentlessly under a late drive to nail Listed Prix Roland de Chambure victor Breizh Sky by a short head on the line.

Tigrais, who hails from the family of multiple Group 1 winner Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}), is the only reported foal out of Maharana (Fr) (Iffraaj {GB}), herself an unraced half-sister to Listed Prix Francois Boutin runner-up Mangusto (Fr) (Roderic O'Connor). Her second dam, Listed Prix Zeddaan runner-up Mantadive (Fr) (Okawango), is the leading performer out of Missanticia (Sicyos), herself a half-sister to G1 Prix Jacques Le Marois heroine Miss Satamixa (Fr) (Linamix {Fr}) and Listed Prix Melisande victrix Miss d'Ouilly (Fr) (Bikala {Ire}). The latter is the dam of five black-type performers headed by GIII Cardinal H. winner Miss Caerleona (Fr) (Caerleon).
