Re: Horse Racing
Style wins the day in Paris

Quote:
Olympic Glory proved disappointing as Style Vendome took his winning run to five in the French 2000 Guineas at Longchamp.
The Nicolas Clement-trained colt had won the Prix Djebel on his previous start and he continued his progress with a decisive, though narrow, triumph in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains.
He responded to jockey Thierry Thulliez's urgings to lead inside the final furlong and hang on from Dastarhon. Intello finished with a real flourish on the outside to grab third place, but Richard Hannon's favourite Olympic Glory could never get in a blow from his wide position and was towards the rear of the field for most of the race.
