And takes winning his first G1 all in his stride

He appears to be a very laid-back horse and while he had to hurry a bit it wasn't anything that he couldn't handle and he finished up defeating Order of Australia with Victor Ludorum third.

Baaeed could probably head to the QEII at Ascot and Order of Australia is going to defend his Breeders' Cup Mile title probably via Keeneland.

There was a total upset in the Prix de la Rochette G3 when Acer Alley won at 25/1 followed in by Making Moovies and El Bodegon at 16/1 was third.

No such upsets in the Prix d'Orange where Saiydabad won like a good thing should from Lord Charming 9/1 and Gregolimo 4/1.

The Coupe de Maisons-Lafitte was a great win for our old mate Andreas Schultz and his Dawn Intello who went off at 25/1 with Seachange second.  Dawn Intello had always raced well fresh but somehow got under the radar here.

And then the Gladiateur went to Bubble Mart for Delzangles-Mendizabel by a length from Karistad 8/1 and Call The Wind third, Brokeback Mountain fourth.
