Weekend of success for MUHTATHIR

In the sales ring:

Lot 192, a filly out of LOGICA, a full-sister to the G2 Prix de Guiche and G3 Prix de Conde second, DOCTOR DINO,was consigned by Kildaragh Stud and bought by Peter J Doyle Bloodstock for

Eu 290,000.

On the racecourse:

SATWA QUEEN proved far too strong for her rivals in the G2 Jean Romanet, powering home to win by a length and a half from 2004 G1 Prix Vermeille victrix Sweet Stream (Shantou), with Sir Michael Stoute's high class RED BLOOM (Selkirk), a length back in third.

This was the third Group victory for the winning filly, who landed last year's G3 Prix de Psyche over course and distance, as well as the G3 Prix Vanteaux at Longchamp.
