Galileo’s Line of Duty Prevails in the Conde

[Wandering Eyes]

   Stepping off a Sept. 4 breakthrough score at Goodwood, Godolphin’s Line of Duty (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) duly obliged as the even-money favourite in Monday’s G3 Prix de Conde at Chantilly. At the line, he had 1 1/4 lengths to spare over fellow Godolphin colourbearer Syrtis (GB) (Frankel {GB}) with a short neck back to Wonderment (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) in third.
