THE veterans in last Sunday’s Grade 2 Prix Georges Courtois at Auteuil fought out the finish with Bel La Vie running on best after the last to beat Shannon Rock by two lengths. A lot of credit must also be given to the winner’s stablemate Storm Of Saintly as he was under a length away third while trying to concede 5kg to the two 10-year-olds who finished in front of him.
