![]() Racing Post..... Darjina eclipses the colts to take Moulin honours by PA Sport staff FLYING filly Darjina comfortably landed the Qatar Prix du Moulin at Longchamp, beating Ramonti and George Washington in the process. Alain de Royer-Dupre's three-year-old had won the French 1,000 Guineas andthe Prix d'Astarte earlier in the season, but this was her first time against the colts. However, it did not seem to make much difference as Christophe Soumillon was never far from the pace-setting Archipenko and the race was over as a contest when she hit the front a furlong out. Frankie Dettori was content to sit just off the Ballydoyle pacemaker on Godolphin's dual Group 1 winner Ramonti, while Kieren Fallon was much further back on George Washington. Dettori made his bid for home two furlongs out but Soumillon refused to panic and bided his time. The Princess Zahra Aga Khan-owned runner then quickened up, to which Ramonti had no answer, and George Washington came all too late to claim third place. Earlier, Dettori landed the Group 3 Qatar Prix La Rochette aboard the John Gosden-trained juvenile Young Pretender, swooping with a well-timed run to grab victory from the Andre Fabre-trained Shediak. edit - King Jock was 2nd in the earlier race.

![]() She looked very good yesterday, i did just manage to catch the race before i headed home from Yorkshire.
Not too many excuses for the others, some are saying Fallon didn't give George the bests of rides and although it probably wasn'y Kieren's finest hour, the horse didn't give him much help and he is beginning to look like he will never win another race again, which is a great shame. Ramonti ran his usual solid race, but he was not good enough to give weight to Darjina. I did reverse that tricast i posted on here, right? ![]()
