Darsi gives Soumillon birthday to remember
Anabaa Blue in 2001 and Dalakhani two years later had provided the 25-year-old rider with previous triumphs in the Paris showpiece and he completed the hat-trick aboard the Alain de Royer-Dupre-trained 14-1 chance.
The success was handsome compensation for Soumillon and the colt’s owner, His Highness the Aga Khan, after Visindar failed to live up to his star billing at Epsom on Saturday, finishing only fifth in the Vodafone Derby after being sent off the 2-1 favourite.
