Much the best in the Listed Prix Altipan at Saint-Cloud, Silius will head to G3 Prix Edmond Blanc next (per Christophe Ferland). Ground has dried back to 3.9 (tres souple, nearer soft in GS terms) and his action says Dubawi colt be fine when the ground tightens up further.

Economics was some racehorse on his day, including when winning the Prix Guillaume d'Ornano at Deauville. Very sad news that he has succumbed to colic at the very outset of his stud career.

France may not be renowned for sprinters but two of the best line up at Meydan on Super Saturday in the G3 Nad Al Sheba, a key trial for the Al Quoz on Dubai World Cup night. #Rayevka was third in the 2025 Commonwealth Cup while #Monteille scored twice at this level last year.

Reliable Man was an excellent Prix du Jockey Club winner in 2011 on just his third start for Sven and Carina Hanson, Alain de Royer-Dupre and Gerald Mosse. A son of Dalakhani and one of the last stallion heirs to Mill Reef died of post-surgical complications in New Zealand
