Pius may have French date

Antonius Pius has twice suffered misfortune at Longchamp this season but he may return to the French track on September 5 to contest the Netjets Prix Du Moulin.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained colt was disqualified from a Group Three contest there in April and then jinked right, throwing away an almost certain victory, in the Gainsborough Poule d’Essai des Poulains the following month.
