WITHIN the space of just over an hour, the father and son combination of Acclamation (Royal Applause) and Mehmas both sired a Group 1 winner at ParisLongchamp.

The five-year-old mare Makarova (Acclamation) is a home-bred for Brightwalton Bloodstock, and she produced a career-best effort on her 28th start to land the five-furlong Group 1 Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp by a little more than a length from the favourite Bradsell. Tom Marquand was on the Ed Walker-trained winner, and he beat his wife Hollie Doyle into second place.
