Flotilla produced a record-breaking performance when getting up in the final strides to land the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (French 1000 Guineas) at Longchamp yesterday.

Aidan O’Brien’s Moth looked an incredibly exciting filly at the Curragh on her reappearance and, on the strength of the performance, connections decided to spend the £30,000 to supplement the filly for tomorrow’s Qipco 1000 Guineas at Newmarket.
