GOOD QUESTION SECURES BLACK-TYPE HAT-TRICK Good Question recorded his third Listed victory of the season when triumphing in the Prix Max Picard at Toulouse. The five-year-old Manduro gelding began his sequence at Vichy in July and followed up at Lyon Parilly last month, prior to yesterday’s success in the 2400m contest. The dual Gr.1 winner Holdthasigreen (Hold That Tiger) was unsurprisingly sent off favourite and the eight-year-old took an early lead before being settled in second behind Lordofthehorizon (Dansili), with Champs De Mars (Cityscape) in third. Good Question was held up just behind the leaders, but as the field divided on the turn for home as the jockeys sought better racing ground, it was he who made the best of his way home to win by a length and a quarter from Home Sweet Home (Makfi), with Skazino (Kendargent) a length away in third. Bred by Magalen Bryant, Good Question was bought privately for only €3,000 at the 2016 Arqana October Yearling Sale.
