mais le commentaire est en francais

Talk about a blanket finish - you could throw a Napkin over the entire field at the winning post.

Was more like  a Lingifeild handicap and was a shocking 'Classic' race imo and can't see any of them featuring in the bigger races over here later this season.

Dabarism possibly might feature in the something like the July Cup but they need Frankie back on board.

wont be going for the July Cup but Dettori might be back on board (seeing as Soumillon wont be)

Thank you very much, HIPPIE.

hristophe Soumillon has ended his association with Dabirsim following the colt's defeat in the French 2000 Guineas at Longchamp on Sunday.

The Belgian jockey told Paris-Turf that he lacked "chemistry" with the Christophe Ferland-trained three-year-old, who won two Group Ones for Frankie Dettori in an unbeaten juvenile campaign.

Soumillon has twice been out of luck aboard Dabirsim, who finished sixth in the French Classic at the weekend after he encountered desperate trouble in running.

"I called the owner Simon Springer on Tuesday morning and I explained to him that I would prefer not to ride Dabirsim anymore," said Soumillon.

"I have gone over my two rides on him and I don't think I've made any big mistakes but you have to look at the facts.

"For some reason which I can't explain, I don't seem to get on with the colt.

"I'm not superstitious but the results speak for themselves - the chemistry isn't there between us. Regarding the horse and his connections, I think it's best for me to step aside and hope that the next jockey can help him rediscover his sparkle.

"I was very frustrated with how things turned out on Sunday and it's best not to continue."
