Coeursamba | Scoop Dyga
By Tom Frary
Entering Sunday’s G1 Emirates Poule d’Essai des Pouliches with plenty of black-type experience but without a win in that sphere, Abdullah bin Fahad Al Attiyah’s Coeursamba (Fr) (The Wow Signal {Ire}) saved her best for the big time as Cristian Demuro launched her to overhaul Mother Earth (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}). Prepping for this ParisLongchamp Classic with a third placing in a course-and-distance conditions event Apr. 22, the bay who had been third in the G3 Prix Six Perfections at Deauville in August and the G3 Prix d’Aumale here the following month had the perfect trip throughout covered up halfway down the pack against the fence. Angled out as the G1 1000 Guineas winner was thrust to the fore, the 37-1 shot surged by that 17-10 favourite 100 metres from the line and on to a 1 1/4-length success, with the Ballydoyle runner a short neck ahead of an even bigger longshot Kennella (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}) in third. The winner, who was providing Jean-Claude Rouget with a fifth renewal, had to survive an inquiry into possible interference but the result was left to stand.
