Rouhiya sprang a surprise in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches on Sunday, swooping late to land the Classic for trainer Francis-Henri Graffard and jockey Maxime Guyon.
Her power up the Longchamp straight resulted in comprehensive victory for Blue Rose Cen in the 2023 G1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (1600m) and her trainer Christopher Head has a strong chance of victory in this year’s colts’ equivalent Classic, Sunday’s (12 May) G1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains (1600m).
