Proportions simply divine at Longchamp

DIVINE PROPORTIONS produced a stunning performance at Longchamp yesterday to maintain her unbeaten record with victory in the Gainsborough Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (French 1000 Guineas).

Her trainer Pascal Bary declared the filly a “phenomenon” and the best horse he had ever trained as she racked up her seventh successive victory with a five-length triumph over Toupie.

The colts’ equivalent, the Poule d’Essai de Poulains (French 2000 Guineas), went to the Godolphin operation’s Shamardal, who redeemed himself after losing his unbeaten tag in the UAE Derby in Dubai.
