Perfections to wait for Marois

Six Perfections is to miss Sunday’s Group One Prix d’Astarte at Deauville so she can be saved for the Prix Jacques Le Marois on August 15, a race she won last year.

Ironically, one of the reasons given for the Breeders’ Cup Mile heroine staying in training as a four-year-old was that Sunday’s race had been upped in status.
