Lawman Filly Goes 3-For-3 In the d’Aumale

[Wandering Eyes]

   Impressing on the second of two wins in a seven-furlong Clairefontaine conditions race July 30, Rocques (Fr) (Lawman {Fr}) was able to translate that form to a tough renewal of the G3 Prix d’Aumale at ParisLongchamp on Sunday and maintain her perfect sequence. Always close to the 2-1 favourite Ceratonia (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) on the front end, the 12-5 second favourite was travelling best in the straight and when committed by Pierre-Charles Boudot approaching the furlong pole settled the result instantly. At the line, the bay who sports the Gerald Augustin-Normand silks had 3/4 of a length to spare over Godolphin’s raider. “She had shown plenty of quality on her first two runs and I had no worries about her staying this mile,” trainer Fabrice Chappet said. “She remains unbeaten and has all the makings of a top-class filly, so the logical next race is the [Oct. 7 G1 Prix] Marcel Boussac.”
