Trincot Earns French Derby Place


Philippe Demercastel was rewarded with a runner in the June 1st Prix du Jockey Club this afternoon when Trincot (Peintre Celebre) clinched victory in the G.3 Prix de Guiche at Chantilly.

Taking the same route as Lawman did last year, Trincot was a still a maiden coming into the 2008 season but has now scored three back-to-back successes.

Opting to remain towards the rear of the field in company with Putney Bridge (Mizzen Mast), it was Mayweather (Nayef) and In Seclusion (Cozzene) who made the running while In Chambers (Oasis Dream) ran freely in behind.

It was Mayweather who led coming into the stretch but Johan Victoire tried to wind up In Seclusion early – to no avail.

In Chambers gradually made up ground on his outside but Trincot came wider still. With just under a furlong to go it was a two-horse race with Trincot and Christophe Soumillon holding on by a neck from In Chambers.

Mayweather stayed on well to take third a length away. Putney Bridge was two lengths further back with In Seclusion another half-length off in fifth.
