Orfevre saunters to back-to-back victories in Prix Foy as Treve turns in a dazzling performance in Vermeille

Orfevre sauntered to back-to-back victories in the Qatar Prix Foy with an impressive display in the Longchamp Group Two yesterday.

The Japenese raider, returned at 4/6 by British bookmakers, was always travelling ominously well under Christophe Soumillon as Now We Can and Stellar Wind set a very slow early gallop.

Soumillon, who had his mount sensibly close to the pace, coasted into the lead over a furlong out and put the race to bed within a matter of strides as the Yasutoshi Ikee-trained five-year-old outclassed the opposition. Very Nice Name was second, three lengths behind the winner, with Pirika third.
