TRINITY College (Dubawi) followed up his Royal Ascot Group 3 win with a short head defeat at the hands of Leffard in the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris on Sunday. The three-year-old is the second produce of the dual classic winner Hermosa (Galileo).

What a result it would have been for Hermosa to add another Group 1 layer to a family already rich in such winners. It also reminded me of a recent posting by Timeform ahead of a fillies maiden at the Curragh on Irish Derby weekend.
