SILASOL KEEPS BOUSSAC AT HOME

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sun

Silasol made just about every yard of the running to win the Total Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp.

Carlos Laffon-Parias's filly had only won a conditions race, but stuck on gamely for Olivier Peslier to hold off Frankie Dettori on Topaze Blanche, a stablemate of the winner.

The raiders had no luck, with Agent Allison handy early but fading late, while Purr Along could never get involved after finding herself in an unpromising position from the off, and then being short of room. My Special J's was prominent for most of the way on the outside, but was swallowed up in the straight.

FRENCH GLORY FOR OLYMPIC

Richard Hannon's Olympic Glory added a Group One victory to his prolific juvenile season with a hard-fought success in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere (Grand Criterium) at Longchamp.

In four previous starts, his only defeat had come at the hands of ante-post 2000 Guineas favourite Dawn Approach in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, and he had subsequently won the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket and the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood.

Victory looked unlikely two furlongs out as Kevin Ryan's outsider Indian Jade loomed large, but champion jockey-elect Richard Hughes asked his mount for a major effort and he delivered, holding off What A Name, with Indian Jade running a big race in third.
