Our praise for the 4-season shuttler Lope de Vega (USA) following the win of Phoenix Of Spain Saturday’s Irish 2000 Guineas perhaps could have waited another 24 hours as his gelded son Zabeel Prince a three-quarter brother to Swettenham Stud’s Puissance De Lune, toughed out a meritorious win in the Group 1 Prix d'Ispahan at Longchamp on Sunday.
Rugged stayer Zacada turned some below par form around when he out-toughed his rivals carrying 60kgs to take out the Group III Campbell Infrastructure Rotorua Cup (2200m).
