ROUGET SEEKS CHANGE OF FORTUNE POULICHES MILE NO With all the turmoil that has surrounded the Jean-Claude Rouget stable of late, few would begrudge a change of fortunes FOR PRECIEUSE for the popular Pau-based trainer as he seeks a first renewal of the G1 Poule d=Essai des Poulains at Deauville. Sunday=s prize is the sole Classic to elude him so far, but before Saturday his strike-rate in the big four--the Poulains, Pouliches, Jockey Club and Diane--was standing at an impressive 50 per cent in the last three years. His representative here is Brametot (Ire) (Rajsaman {Fr}), who carries the silks of his new part-owners Al Shaqab Racing who purchased a half-share in the bay this week. Gerard Augustin-Normand remains the other proprietaire, as he was in five of the six cases where the Rouget stable was successful in the domestic Classics since 2014. Brametot has an element of Al Shaqab=s other exciting French-trained colt Al Wukair (Ire) (Dream Ahead) about him as he effectively blew his chance in the G3 Prix de Fontainebleau before making a mockery of the contest.

Just off the pace in the stand=s-side group under Olivier Peslier, the 28-1 shot who was last seen finishing runner-up in the G3 Prix Sigy over six furlongs at Chantilly Apr. 9 was able to deliver her raw speed where it mattered at the end of this competitive renewal. Despite drifting markedly right in the run to the line, the homebred chestnut readily overhauled the British raider Sea of Grace (Ire) (Born To Sea {Ire}) in the final 100 metres to win by 1 3/4 lengths, with Heuristique (Ire) (Shamardal) another surprise package just 3/4 of a length away in third. The 4-1 favourite Senga (Blame) held every chance inside the last quarter mile, but faded to be 11th. AThis filly was working well, but of course there was a question mark about the distance,@ commented trainer Fabrice Chappet after greeting his first Group 1 winner. AIn the mornings she was showing me she would probably get the trip, but you never know until you go to the races.

Pouliches Mile No Problem For Precieuse cont. This is a great result for the whole team and is also the first filly I have trained for Mrs Hayes, so I have to thank her for trusting me.@ Introduced as late as Oct. 12 in a six-furlong debutantes contest at Chantilly, Precieuse ended up a short-neck second to Charm Appeal (Fr) (Canford Cliffs {Ire}) who ironically was only able to beat three rivals in this race. In that same berth behind the British raider Private Matter (GB) (Mayson {GB}) in the Listed Prix Zeddaan 15 days later at that distance at Maisons-Laffitte, she was the bridesmaid behind another from that country in Simmie (Ire) (Fast Company {Ire}) in the Nov. 15 Listed over 5 1/2 furlongs back at Chantilly. Returning with a confidence-building three-length success in a six-furlong conditions event at Fontainebleau Mar. 17, she had her limitations exposed over speed trips when 3 1/2-lengths second to France=s budding sprinting star Fas (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) in the Prix Sigy.

Winning connections and their Classic winner | Emma Berry

Held on to by Olivier Peslier early tracking old rival Charm Appeal who led her pack, Precieuse was out of her ground with the group racing up the middle tending to dominate. With Charm Appeal providing a perfect lead to the quarter pole, Peslier was unconcerned as the likes of (War Front) and Senga made their moves to her right. Giving Via Ravenna (Ire) (Raven=s Pass) a nudge as she was pulled out from behind the tiring leader, she picked up impressively to counter the attack of Sea of Grace on the wide outside and as she veered towards the Haggas runner it was clear that she was delivering an irresistible surge. There can be no fluke to this result and Precieuse is an unexposed filly at this trip, but as she is not entered for the G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot June 23 her trainer will have to think about where to go now.

LA CORONEL SEEKS THE CROWN AT ROYAL La Coronel, like Tepin, began her career on the main track. After two sub-par efforts on the Downs and Saratoga ASCOT By Michael Adolphson dirt courses, she quickly moved to the turf course at the latter and was an overpowering four-length graduate and then carbon-copied such supremacy with a victory in the GIII Jessamine S. at Keeneland. She ended her season with a wide and troubled sixth-place run in the aforementioned Juvenile Fillies Turf at Santa Anita. Tepin, on the other hand, ran two ho-hum Churchill dirt races sandwiched around a Keeneland Polytrack maiden victory to commence her career. She then proved too classy, even on what would prove to be her lesser-preferred surface, when taking the GIII Delta Princess S. at Delta Downs to cap her juvenile season. Her 3-year-old season was a winless four-start fiasco riddled with minor injuries and one flash of brilliance when closing impressively in the GII San Clemente H. at Del La Coronel | Sarah K.

ZHUKOVA CRUSHES MALES IN MAN O= WAR TIMELINE REMAINS The seemingly endless rain and yielding course did not bother PERFECT IN PETER PAN European invader Zhukova (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) one bit as she effortlessly ran away with Belmont=s GI Man o= War S. Saturday, besting males for the third time in her career. She is the first female to win the Man o= War since champion Waya (Fr) captured the 1978 renewal. Receiving Lasix for the first time in this Stateside bow, the Dermot Weld pupil was hammered down to 4-5 favoritism from a 5-1 morning-line quote in this scratched-down field of five. Away well under Hall of Famer John Velazquez, the 5-year-old mare sat in a comfortable second as Charming Kitten (Kitten=s Joy) walked the dog through absolutely glacial early fractions of :27.47, :56.45 and 1:24.16. Drawing even with the pacesetter as he registered a mile in 1:49.69, Zhukova instantly rocketed clear of her competition and cruised home a dominant six-length winner. Taghleeb (Hard Spun) was a nose clear of Sadler=s Joy (Kitten=s Joy) in second.

Timeline took some of the pressure off the leader, sitting back a bit through a half in :47.68, but ranged up once again on Meantime=s outside approaching the bend. Meantime floated out wide turning for home as Javier Castellano quickly re-routed Timeline, sending him up along the fence. Meantime came back in a few paths, briefly running shoulder-to-shoulder with the chalk, but Timeline kept on finding and splashed clear of the pacesetter late to win by 3 1/2 lengths. Impressive Edge completed the trifecta and the winner=s stablemate Take Your Guns (Blame) checked in fourth. "The horse ran great,@ winning trainer Chad Brown remarked. AThere was a little anxious moment on the turn there. I couldn't really see if he lost the bridle a little bit or what. Javier said he kind of ran in spots a little bit at the end of the race. He kind of had to use him a little bit out of the gate to get his footing and then felt good.

Sometimes we’re re- minded that newcomers to this country create not just a dream for themselves, but one for the country, the industry and the people they affect through the course of their new lives here. And so it is with Susan and Charlie Chu, and American horse racing. T.D. Thornton pro- files their story and contributions this month. Across the Atlantic, as the European racing season heats up, we’ll take you out dining to two U.K. hotspots: one a traditional Newmarket-area stalwart, and another a fresh London upstart. Also, if you’ve been struck by a photo of French racing or breeding you’ve seen lately, there’s a good chance it was taken by the Polish- born Zuzanna Lupa, an up-and-coming photography star on the French racing scene. We’ll show you some of her favorite photos. And finally, one of America’s top trainers is looking for his first Derby win. Mark Casse has this month’s last word.
