Red-hot Lemaire chasing more Classic glory

CHRISTOPHE Lemaire is confident Stacelita can maintain her unbeaten record as she goes in search of Classic glory in the Prix de Diane at Chantilly tomorrow.

Jean-Claude Rouget’s filly won three relatively minor events on her first three outings but took a step up to Group One company in her stride when annihilating her rivals in the Prix Saint-Alary at Longchamp.

Lemaire admits he would have preferred more testing conditions for the French Oaks but is hopeful her class will see her through.
