Trainer Andre Fabre has confirmed that Sosie (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) is set to continue his racing career in 2025 following his fourth-place finish in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp, with the G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot being identified as a likely destination next summer. The three-year-old Sosie was beaten around four lengths behind Bluestocking (GB) (Camelot {GB}) on Sunday as he attempted to complete a big-race hat-trick following victories in the G1 Grand Prix de Paris and G2 Prix...

A field of 16 will take part in Sunday's G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at ParisLongchamp, with Aidan O'Brien responsible for the only withdrawals on Thursday morning with the expected easy ground unsuitable for Auguste Rodin (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) and Luxembourg (Ire) (Camelot {GB}). That leaves the G1 Irish Derby hero Los Angeles (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) and Continuous (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}) to represent Ballydoyle with the Wertheimers' G1 Grand Prix de Paris hero Sosie (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) currently shading favouritism for an open renewal...

Following Monday's confirmation stage, 18 horses remain in contention for Sunday's G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp, including the three-year-old Sosie (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), who has topped the ante-post betting since registering his second consecutive victory over the course and distance in the G2 Prix Niel. He also won the G1 Grand Prix de Paris on his previous start. Sosie is one of three potential runners for Andre Fabre, who will be seeking a record-extending ninth win in the Arc. Fabre is also set to...

Andre Fabre has issued a positive bulletin on his pair of contenders as he seeks a record-extending ninth win in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on Sunday, October 6. Fabre is responsible for the ante-post favourite in the shape of the three-year-old Sosie (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), who has won his last two starts over the Arc course and distance, first making the breakthrough at the top level in the Grand Prix de Paris in July and then returning from 10 weeks off with a...

Undefeated in three prior starts this term, Baron Edouard de Rothschild's star distaffer Mqse De Sevigne (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}--Penne {Fr}, by Sevres Rose {Ire}) registered back-to-back wins in last month's G1 Prix Rothschild at Deauville and repeated the dose with a battling performance to defend her title in Sunday's G1 Sumbe Prix Jean Romanet back at the Normandy venue. The prohibitively priced 1-5 favourite was unhurried at the break and settled at the tail of the five-runner field until well beyond halfway in this 10-furlong contest. Cruising forward once into...

Deauville's G1 Sumbe Prix Morny has proven a happy hunting ground for Royal Ascot winners in recent years and Wathnan Racing's G2 Norfolk Stakes winner Shareholder (Not This Time) is the latest to try a unique double on Sunday. The trouble for that unbeaten colt is that he faces a real threat not just from outside his own yard but also from within. Karl Burke saddles a live second contender in Mohamed Saeed Al Shahi's G3 Prix du Bois and G2 Prix Robert Papin winner Arabie (GB) (Dandy Man {GB}),...

Baron Edouard de Rothschild's four-time Group 1 winner Mqse De Sevigne (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}), who successfully defended her G1 Prix Rothschild title at Deauville last month, will return to the Normandy venue in an attempt to register back-to-back victories in Sunday's G1 Sumbe Prix Jean Romanet. She will encounter four rivals after all five overnight contenders stood their ground for the €250,000 10-furlong contest. Opposition includes 'TDN Rising Star' Left Sea (GB) (Frankel {GB}), who was supplemented at a cost of €18,000, and the enigmatic Blue Rose Cen (Ire) (Churchill...

Sent off the 7-10 favourite as the race's undisputed leading lady having also garnered last year's G1 Prix Jean Romanet here and this term's G1 Prix d'Ispahan at ParisLongchamp, the Andre Fabre-trained homebred was allowed to coast behind the early...

Leading European sire Siyouni (Fr) (Pivotal {GB}--Sichilla {Ire}, by Danehill) will again be available to cover a limited number of mares to Southern Hemisphere time in 2024 from his base at Haras de Bonneval in France. Siyouni, who has sired eight Classic races from eight to 10 furlongs, finished the 2023 season as the leading sire of milers, headed by Tahiyra (Ire), Paddington (GB) and Mqse De Sevigne (Ire), who collectively won nine Group 1 races. Mqse De Sevigne also annexed the G1 Prix d'Ispahan earlier this year. In Australia,...

Mqse De Sevigne (Ire) will aim to add to her Group 1 tally at Deauville before ending her career with a crack at the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, trainer Andre Fabre revealed on Monday. The daughter of Siyouni (Fr) won a pair of top-level races at Deauville as a four-year-old, registering back-to-back victories in the Prix Rothschild and Prix Jean Romanet, before filling the runner-up spot behind Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in the G1 Sun Chariot S. at Newmarket on her final start of the campaign. This year Mqse...

Showing that she is now a regular presence in the top strata, Baron Edouard De Rothschild's Mqse De Sevigne (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}--Penne {Fr}, by Sevres Rose {Ire}) battled to a third top-level victory in ParisLongchamp's G1 Prix d'Ispahan on Sunday. Needing all of the unique nine furlongs and 55 yards to get to Horizon Dore (Fr) (Dabirsim {Fr}), last year's G1 Prix Rothschild and G1 Prix Jean Romanet winner enjoyed the perfect tow under cover from Blue Rose Cen (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}) and benefitted from a typically nerveless Alexis Pouchin...
