A BIBLICAL downpour was the backdrop to last Sunday’s Grade 1 Prix Alain du Breil (Four-Year-Old-Champion Hurdle) at Auteuil and it was something of a miracle that Moises Has was able to overcome a catastrophic error at the final flight to land the €78,750 winner’s cheque.

Up until then, everything had pretty much gone to plan for jockey Steven Colas, looking to grab his second top level triumph 12 and a half years after his first.
