Qatar Prix du Jockey Club (Group 1)

THE Tricolor flew high above Chantilly Racecourse last Sunday afternoon. But the flag fluttering most proudly across the lake from the 16th century chateau was not the blue, white and red of the French ‘Tricolore’ but its green, white and orange equivalent, as the day’s big race, the Group 1 Qatar Prix du Jockey Club, was totally dominated by its Irish contingent.
