Minor liver problem found in Lawman after Marois run

by Desmond Stoneham

TESTS on Lawman, so disappointing when a distant last behind Manduro in Sunday‘s Prix Jacques le Marois, has a minor liver problem.

Blood tests were undertaken on the Prix du Jockey-Club winner after his abject performance at Deauville, where he was 13 lengths behind the winner – and ten lengths behind runner-up Holocene, whom he had beaten by two and a half when they met in a Group 3 at Chantilly back in May.

Trainer Jean-Marie Beguigne revealed news of the blood-test analysis on Tuesday. “The results showed the colt has a minor liver problem and he will have a more thorough check-up at the end of the week,” he said. “He has been walking today and seems fine in himself.”

There had to be some sort of problem after that run, glad they have found what it was. He is a very nice horse.

No, he is one of the favourites for the Arc because he has beaten such illustrious horses as Dylan Thomas and his form last year leaves him the pick of the older horses this year, he had to play second fiddle to some very good horses last year, but this year the others are playing second fiddle to him.

Turtle Bowl off to stud next year


by Rachel Pagones



GROUP 1 winner Turtle Bowl, third behind Manduro in the Prix Jacques le Marois this month, will enter stud at Aliette and Gilles Forien's Haras de la Reboursiere et de Montaigu next year.

Trained by Francois Rohaut for Berend van Dalfsen, the five-year-old son of Dyhim Diamond scored his biggest victory to date in the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat two years ago. He has been third at the top level in each of his last three starts, including a close finish behind Ramonti in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, and is likely to contest the Group 1 Prix du Moulin in September. He could bow out in either the Breeders' Cup Mile in October or the Hong Kong Mile in December.

Turtle Bowl will be a welcome addition to Archange d'Or, Martaline, and Victory Note at la Reboursiere, which lost both leading veteran sire Kendor and the promising young Starborough this year.

Out of the Top Ville mare Clara Bow, he is a half-brother to the Galileo colt who sold for €1.4m at the Deauville sale on Friday. He is also a half-brother to the 2002 Prix d'Astarte winner and Grade 1-placed Turtle Bow, whose first foal, a filly by Diesis, was bought at Arqana last summer by Shadwell France for €600,000.
