TWO notes on the Prix de l’Abbaye. Firstly, the first seven home were drawn in seven of the lowest eight stalls, and eight of the first nine home were drawn in the lowest eight stalls, and nine of the first 10 home were drawn in the lowest nine stalls, and 10 of the first 11 home were drawn in the lowest 10 stalls.

The high-drawn horse who got in among the low-drawn horses was Sestilio Jet, who finished eighth from stall 14. And he was moved by Frankie Dettori onto the rail in behind horses at half way.
