PHILOMENE, a daughter of Dubawi (Dubai Millennium), was beaten less than a length by Joan Of Arc in the Group 1 Prix de Diane-French Oaks at Chantilly. That short distance is all that stands between her dam being a four-time Group 1 winner producer.

Prudenzia (Dansili) is in the news again thanks to her daughter Diamond Necklace (St Mark’s Basilica) running out a stunning winner of Sunday’s Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches-French 1000 Guineas, and giving her Coolmore sire a classic winner with his first crop. She provides yet another chapter in the growing book of success for this female family.
