CHRISTOPHE Soumillon rode an inspired race aboard Godolphin’s Thunder Snow to win last Sunday’s Group 1 Prix Jean Prat at Chantilly.

The Belgian outwitted the talented Vincent Cheminaud on the favourite Trais Fluors by implementing perfect wait-in-front tactics to win by a length and a quarter. Gold Luck was the same distance away third, then came Turf Laurel and Lightupthenight who lost her chance by remaining in the stalls for some time after the off.
