As soon as Peslier was allowed a near two-length advantage in the early stages here, the contest was as good as over and it Cirrus des Aigles Wins Prix Ganay (cont. from p1) seemed up the straight that the Cirrus des Aigles never had much commercial appeal, more the de Royer-Dupre pair of being by the virtually unknown Even Top, whose claim Giofra and Reliable Man tried, the to fame was being beaten pixels by Mark of Esteem easier the task was for the Cirrus des Aigles (Ire) in the 1996 G1 2000 Guineas, and who has hardly favorite as he coasted to a Horsephotos bred another winner. Now that he is an international landmark win. ANow we have performer of real renown, the decision to geld him has many choices,@ Barande-Barbe added.

Reliable Man ran a good race, as he this race and the G1 Prix d=Ispahan here last spring, he probably needed it and we could consider the Prince of tacked another second in the G1 Grand Prix de Wales=s S. for him.@ Saint-Cloud on to his record in between authoritative wins in the G3 La Coupe at this course and G3 Grand Prix de Vichy in the summer. In two weeks at Deauville, he had annexed the G3 Prix Gontaut-Biron and G2 Grand Prix de Deauville by a cumulative margin of 18 lengths.
