Fourth place finish last year to the winner of the title this year… Moonlight Cloud proved her point!
A week after her win at the Maurice de Gheest, Moonlight Cloud captured her group 1 Prix Jacques Le Marois by a nose defeating Olympic Glory at Deauville. The showdown that was expected between Moonlight Cloud, Dawn Approach and Intello on the straight mile witnessed the tremendous competition between the runner- up English invader Olympic Glory and bay filly Moonlight Cloud. Jockey Thierry Jarnet leading the filly was in the middle of the field before she set forth at the quarter mile finding and opening trashed to the win the race, timing 1:33.39. Trained by Freddy Head, the 2008 filly sired by Invincible Spirit and Venture both Ireland bred accounted for her fifth group 1 victory and the fourth at Deauville.
The Marois which is a Breeders’ Cup Challenge is a “win and you’re in” race, Moonlight Cloud who is now being called the European star after winning both the races in a gap of a week; earned a fees-paid berth in the Breeders’ cup along with a travel fee.
Intello the leading French 3 year old finished third running a decent race followed by Declaration of War and Dawn Approach in the field of 13 horses.
Trainer Head delighted by the five year old’s performance told Racing Post; "I think with this victory she's joined Miesque and Goldikova among the Deauville legends.”
