PLAINCHANT WIRES THE CRITERIUM FIELD

11 Oct 2020

Plainchant (Gregorian), who registered a May 17th debut third tackling five furlongs at La Teste de Buch, broke through over six furlongs back there in June and followed up with a first black-type score there once more in the July 26th Listed Criterium du Bequet. Narrowly defeated over six in Deauville’s August 22nd Gr.3 Prix du Calvados, she returned with a five-length triumph in Chantilly’s September 18th Prix Eclipse and returned to that Paris venue to make all for a career high in Saturday’s Gr.2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte. The even-money favourite was sharply into stride and seized immediate control of the straight dash. Sent clear either side of the quarter-mile marker, she was not for catching thereafter and kept on well under mild coaxing in the closing stages to comfortably hold the late rally of Go Athletico by 3/4-of-a-length. The paid were seven lengths clear of the remainder, headed by Kalahara (Frankel). This is the family of Gr.3 Prix de Sandringham winner Laugh Out Loud (Clodovil), Listed Pinnacle Stakes and Listed Chalice Stakes victress Suzi’s Decision and Gr.3 Glorious Stakes third Baghdad.
