My view is that the winner looked a cut above the others at all stages of the race, a faster pace would've seen her win even more decisively.

IMon, 13 Jun 2011 05:10:36 -0500I'm not sure that the form was up to the level to win an Arc and so both fillies would have to improve again to win in October over 12f.

The jock on the pacemaker kept looking over his shoulder in the first few furlongs to see where Galikova was.
