In last Sunday’s classic eight fillies were battling it out practically upsides going to the final 400m The ability of Laurens to get her head in front at the wire is down to sheer courage, but she lacks the turn of foot of the very best. She covered the final 600m and 400m in 36” and 23”65 respec - tively as the filly maintained the same momentum. A very tough and deserving filly, she won her third Gr1 race: two of which have involved long journeys.

  • Prix De Sandringham
    PRIX DE SANDRINGHAM Resume of the race Very unlucky after getting boxed in the Emirates Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (Groupe 1) in the latter stages, Mission Impassible put the wrongs to right by landing the Prix de Sandringham (Group 2). Cristian Demuro managed to relax his mount in the slipstream of the leader Efaadah before the combination took the latter’s measure in the straight. Crown Walk, coming off a win in a maiden, finished strongly to deprive Efaadah of second. Mission Impassible is expected to race at Deauville in the summer but it’s not the cards that she will tackle either the Prix de Diane Longines or go to Royal Ascot. The race under the microscope 1st- Mission Impassible : A little keen early on before being shading the front running Efaadah. She took time to pick up but, after hitting full stride, she ran on strongly in the final 200 metres to win a shade cosily. 2nd - Crown Walk : After bringing up the rear for a long way, she was noted doing her best work towards the finish by running on strongly to take second in the final strides. 3rd - Efaadah: Smartly into her stride, she set a honest tempo but had to give best to Mission Impassible before losing second to Crown Walk in the dying strides.. 4th - Shamtee: Held up at the back of the field, she kept on well on the outside of the field – threatening Efaadah for third. 5th- Ellthea: After chasing the pace, she threatened on the outside with 400 metres to go but was unable to sustain her effort.
