Edouard de Rothschild's homebred Mqse De Sevigne (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) looks likely to continue her travels with an intended next start in the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Santa Anita.
A dual Group 1 winner this season, over a mile in the Prix Rothschild and 10 furlongs in the Prix Jean Romanet, the four-year-old was runner-up to Inspiral (GB) on Saturday in the Sun Chariot S. on her first start outside her native France. In six runs this year she has never finished out of the first two.
Her trainer Andre Fabre, who caused an upset in the Breeders' Cup Classic 30 year ago with Arcangues and took the Filly & Mare Turf in 2001 with Banks Hill (GB), said, “The Breeders' Cup is the plan and if she is in good shape she will go there. I think the two extra furlongs will suit her better.”
He added of Mqse De Sevigne's record this season, “She was probably a bit backward and a bit unlucky in her races before. But I have been delighted with her.”
Fabre has also won the Breeders' Cup Turf on three occasions with In The Wings (GB), Shirocco (Ger) and Talismanic (GB). He may be represented in this year's race by Junko (GB) (Intello {Ger}), the last-start winner of the G3 Prix de Reux in Deauville who was also third in the G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud behind Westover (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and Zagrey (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}).
