Myself and Mr. Fabre certainly don't have any problems with the ground being either soft or good. Christophe [Soumillon] is very happy too and I would say the horse is now fit and ready to go to war.” Ouija Board needs no introduction, boasting world renown as she returns to the venue where it all began when winning the G1 two years ago. With G1 and GI Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf successes tacked on as a sophomore, great things were expected at four. Coming to hand late after some summer setbacks, she ran second in the Filly and Mare Turf at Belmont in October before annexing the G1 at Sha Tin in December. Only fourth on her return in the G1 at Nad al Sheba Mar. 25, she finished with a purpose when third in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup back at Sha Tin last time Apr. 23. “She seems extremely well in her work at home recently and we are hopeful of a big run,” trainer ’s Racing Secretary Peter Shoemark commented.
