Dubawi’s Kubrick Pounces For G3 Prix des Chenes Triumph

[Wandering Eyes]

White Birch Farm's 2-year-old colt Kubrick (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}–Rosa Bonheur, by Mr. Greeley) backed up a July 24 debut second going seven furlongs at Dieppe with a breakthrough triumph at Deauville last month and continued on the upgrade by turning back a strong Irish challenge in Thursday's G3 Prix des Chenes at ParisLongchamp. The eventual winner employed patient tactics from flagfall and was settled sixth, at the tail of the field, through halfway. Making continued headway under pressure in the home straight, the 31-10 second favourite quickened to gain a slender advantage with 100 metres remaining and was ridden out in the dying embers to assert by a neck from Coolmore and Westerberg's hithero unbeaten Adelaide River (Ire) (Australia {GB}) for a first black-type success.
