Signs Of Blessing best in incident packed Maurice de Gheest

Signs Of Blessing made all the running to win a dramatic renewal of the LARC Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville yesterday.

A close third to Twilight Son in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Ascot, the Francois Rohaut-trained five-year-old enjoyed his day in the sun with a game all-the-way success after a good 10-minute delay to the race.

Stephane Pasquier had Signs Of Blessing smartly away and was soon travelling comfortably in front with Gordon Lord Byron and Gifted Master close up.
