Trained by Francis Graffard and driven by Mickael Barzalona, who both won the race for the first time, Daryz forced his head just in time after Minnie Hawk was initially clearly stretched in the last Furlong and a half.
The gripping success comes only eight months after the Aga Khan, one of Racing’s large owner-breeders, died at 88 in February.
Graffard summarized, Graffard said: “In the past this was just a dream, and now it happens to me.”
With his victory, Frans earned Daryz earned a reimbursements, automatic berth on the Longines Fokers ‘Cup Turf November 1 in Del Mar, because the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe is part of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge series “Win and You’re in”.
Much of the racing of the race had focused on the Japanese attack on the race, but Luck seemed to miss that the horses of that nation in the last week before the race with heavy rainfall the ground were unfavorable and wide treks those two of his three challengers hinder.
The impact of the draw was again in this year’s arch, with the winner from stall two, Minnie Hauk van Kraam one and Sosie, who was third, originating from stall three. Moreover, while a rainbow bowed over Longchamp while the bow was performed, it was only because more rain fell on the runners.
Byzantine dream attracted strong market support before the race started and rose from the second favorite under Jockey Oisin Murphy. He emerged threatening on the inside with two furlongs to run, but his efforts Peten for the last Furlong.
Instead, it was Minnie Hauk and Daryz, round in the middle of the track to chase the favorite, who selected the finish, with the green and red side of Aga Khan in front while the runners exceeded the line.
It was the fifth time that the colors of Late Aga Khan have been in the race since 1982, with Daryz Akiyda, Sinndar, Dalakhani and Zarkava.
“It’s a big win,” said Graffard. “I am very lucky that Princess Zahra and her family give me the confidence to train this great horse, and to win the bow with these colors is just crazy.”
Aidan O’Brien and The Coolmore Partners had enjoyed the perfect start -to -boog day with two winners in Breeders’ Cup PrePs (see below), but had to settle for the second with the Merrieveeulen Minnie Hauk.
Michael Tabor, co-owner of Minnie Hauk, said: “Seconditis is a terrible disease, that’s all I can say! It’s just one of those things; we’re very proud of Minnie Hauk, she just caught a blinder. I thought she had won and I am sure she has a big future.”
O’Brien added: “She ran a great race. What can I say? She really went well and we are really happy.”– Peter Scargill
