Grafelli impresses in Anglesey Stakes

Some of the gloss was taken off the Jebel Ali Stables & Racecourse Anglesey Stakes with the early defection of Cristoforo Colombo but he would have had his work cut out to beat the Jim Bolger trained Grafelli (9/4) who ran out an impressive six and a half length winner. Sun 22nd Jul

After race at Leopardstown Thu, 26th Jul, 2012 (1st)

He showed his class again today. He stays the trip well and shouldn't have any trouble with a mile. He will have a bit of a break now and then go to France for the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère (Group 1) on Arc day. I never saw a horse to go on that ground on Sunday (soft to heavy) and lose just a kilo in weight. He was back to exactly the same weight this evening.

After race at Curragh Sun, 22nd Jul, 2012 (1st)

We will step him up to a Group 2 next and there maybe a race for him in France later in the year. He handled the ground really well. We knew he would come on quite a bit on homework. He is a bit behind Dawn Approach but he could be catching up on him now. The trip and the ground don't matter to him. I expect him to get a mile and I think he will be even better on better ground. His owner (Sylvain Benillouche) is a Frenchman and he owns a stud farm in Normandy. He has had horses with us down through the years since 1982.

He got through it and that was a help. He's a slow learner and there should be some improvement to come. We'll see how he gets treated in nurseries and we'll go from there.
