Longchamp winner for O'Brien and Murtagh
Aidan O’Brien’s Misty For Me secured her second Group One haul with a battling effort in the Total Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp.
The Moyglare Stud Stakes heroine was always well to the fore in the hands of Johnny Murtagh but seemed set for minor honours when hot favourite Helleborine cruised up menacingly inside the final two furlongs.
The latter looked like running away with the contest when quickening up smartly to join Misty For Me, but O’Brien’s filly was in determined mood and found enough for pressure to pass the post in front.
John Gosden’s Rainbow Springs ran a big race in third to give a nice boost to the form of Frankel, who beat her out of sight at Doncaster recently.
