Re: Horse Racing
Pastorius pounces in Ganay.

Quote:
Last year's German Derby winner Pastorius made a successful start to the new campaign by claiming Europe's first Group One race of the 2013 season, the Prix Ganay at Longchamp.
The Mario Hofer-trained four-year-old, who was fourth to Frankel in the Qipco Champion Stakes on his final start last year, swept to a comfortable victory under Olivier Peslier after stablemate Point Blank had done his job as pacemaker.
Pastorius came with a smooth run on the rails in the straight and had too many guns for Maxios, with Dunaden, ridden by Jamie Spencer for owners Pearl Bloodstock, a staying-on third.
