DONJUAN Triumphant became the second pattern winner from the first crop of sprint star and Ballylinch Stud stallion Dream Ahead when coming home a five and a half length winner of the Group 2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte over six furlongs in France yesterday.

Jim Bolger’s Smash Williams, previously unbeaten in two starts, went off the odds-on favourite for the six-furlong race but failed to pick up on the soft ground and was well held in third spot.
