Somnus captures Deauville prize
Somnus, ridden by Gary Stevens, landed the Prix Maurice de Gheest for Yorkshire trainer Tim Easterby at Deauville today.
The American jockey brought Somnus to lead over a furlong out, after which the four-year-old had to ward off challenges on all sides in the closing stages of the Group One contest.
Somnus, racing down the centre of the track, just got home from Whipper, with Dolma in third and Ashdown Express fourth.
