THE English raider Garrus, in the familiar colours of Susan Roy, won the Group 3 Barrière Prix de Meautry, the best sprint of the Deauville summer meeting, last Sunday.

Last seen when eighth of 19 behind Starman in the July Cup, the Ioritz Mendizabal ridden and Charlie Hills-trained gelding slipped along the stands’ rail behind the front-running O Trasno, and driven to challenge on inside rail over a furlong out, he ran on, edging right late on but out of reach of a decent rival in Duhail, who was a length and a quarter behind.
