Fabre's Raclette Hopes For A Place In The Yorkshire Oaks Field

Gr.2 winner Raclette has been supplemented to the G.1 Yorkshire Oaks, according to trainer Andre Fabre. The bay won the Listed Prix Melisande at ParisLongchamp two starts back in June, and triumphed in the G.2 Prix de Malleret in the colours of the late Prince Khalid Abdullah.

The trainer also had an update on Gr.1 winner Mare Australis, who was unplaced in the G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud.

He had a valid excuse, he became unbalanced on the track and was pushed out of the race and another horse galloped into his heels,” said Fabre. “Saying that he's been to Saint-Cloud before and disappointed, so he might just not like the course.“He'll go for an Arc prep and then the Arc, he likes Longchamp so it makes sense to run him there.
