Re: Horse Racing
Cirrus on Coronation cloud nine.

Quote:
Not many horses trained in France have been as popular as Cirrus Des Aigles and the globetrotting eight-year-old claimed his sixth Group One success in the Investec Coronation Cup at Epsom.
Expertly handled by Corine Barande-Barbe, he has been written off several times but appears better than ever this summer, and was winning over a mile and a half just 13 days after winning the Prix d'Ispahan over nine furlongs.
Already the conqueror of Arc heroine Treve, the 10-11 favourite was ridden confidently by Christophe Soumillon and comfortably held his compatriot Flintshire by two lengths.
