French G3 success for Expert Eye

28th Oct 2024

Paardeberg Stud’s resident sire Expert Eye made headlines in France on Sunday when his progressive daughter Entrancement won the G3 Prix Belle de Nuit at Saint-Cloud.
A stayer who appreciates it testing, the 13-10 favourite was delivered late from mid-division by Oisin Murphy to deny fellow David Menuisier-trained Panthera by a short neck.
“I thought we’d finish first and second, but I wasn’t sure in which order,” commented their trainer, who was registering back-to-back successes having collected with the stable stalwart Caius Chorister in 2023. “I said to the owners beforehand, the winner is more about the past and present and the runner-up is more about the future. She will have a big future, as she keeps on improving all the time.”
Entrancement, who is out of the Halling mare Entree, has now won five races, with the filly victorious in her last three starts. She had picked up the Listed British Stallion Studs EBF Beckford Stakes prior to her win on Sunday.
Her G1 Breeders’ Cup Mile winning sire Expert Eye is standing his first season in South Africa for a fee of R25 000.
