LAST weekend’s feature on the flat was the Group 2 Prix Edmond Blanc at Saint-Cloud. The mile contest featured last year’s Poule d’Essai des Poulains (French 2000 Guineas) winner Olmedo among the six runners.

Trained by Jean-Claude Rouget, he had to settle for fourth place, without really posing a threat to the top three in the last furlong.
