Meandre lands Grand Prix de Paris

MEANDRE repaid the faith of trainer Andre Fabre as he thwarted the front-running Seville to land the Juddmonte Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp last night.

Fabre had supplemented the Slickly colt for the Group One race at a cost of €36,000 earlier in the week, but it proved money well spent as he notched a narrow victory in the hands of Maxime Guyon.

Seamie Heffernan set out to make all aboard Seville, one of three runners for Aidan O’Brien, with stablemate and Irish Derby winner Treasure Beach content to sit in behind him.
