Miesque too good
NZPA-Reuter Deauville Miesque gained perhaps the finest victory of her outstanding career when she beat Warning by a length in the Prix du Haras De Fresnay-le-Buf-fard (formerly the Prix Jacques le Marois) on Sunday. Jockey, Freddie Head, said of the winner, which was having her ninth Group One sucess: “I have never know her so brilliant”
Intimidate made the running, but a furlong (200 m from home in the 1600 m event the English Sussex Stakes winner, Warning, ranged up alongside to go a neck ahead.
Warning’s rider, Pat Eddery, said: “We were going so well at the time that I could not believe anything could come and beat us.”
But that was just what Miesque did as she surged through on the outside to take the lead 150 m out before easing up close to the finish. The winner, which is owned by Starves Niarchos, will have just two more races. She will contest the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp on September 4, then the Breeders’ Cup Mile at Churchill Downs in Kentucky in November, both of which she won last year.
