IT was an unusually disappointing day for Andre Fabre at Saint-Cloud last Sunday, as the 31-time champion trainer saddled the hot favourites for the two Group 2 features but saw them both turned over, albeit in very different circumstances.

Agave, a daughter of Dubawi sporting the Juddmonte silks, was the buzz horse of the afternoon, as she took on the colts for the first time in the €130,000 Prix Greffulhe over an extended mile and a quarter, bidding to stretch her unbeaten sequence to four and cement her place in the Epsom Oaks line-up.
