Falls Of Lora: Failed to follow-up at Deauville

Falls Of Lora: Failed to follow-up at Deauville

Falls Of Lora failed to trouble the judge in the Group Three Prix de Psyche at Deauville with honours going to Leaupartie.

The Mahmood Al Zarooni trained filly had travelled to France for the 10 furlong contest on the back of a Listed victory at Sandown but was unable to follow up as she stepped back up in grade, trailing home in sixth.

Gregory Benoist took up the running aboard Leaupartie as they entered the straight and the daughter of Stormy River, who had finished sixth in the French Oaks (Prix de Diane) last time out, showed plenty of guts to record her second victory in just four career starts.

The pair had half a length in hand at the line from Romantica with Coronation Stakes fifth Bugie D'Amore a short-head away in third with daylight back to the chasing pack.
