Destructive in Deauville !

Surrey Mist stepped up in class to take on French opposition in the Graded Prix Vulcain, a Listed race at Deauville’s beautiful racecourse, a real treat for the syndicate owners. Having had his first (and winning run) for Kevin Philappart du Foy at Windsor 2 weeks prior, Mist was in good shape to tackle harder opposition and made the trip over without any issues. Jockey Ioritz Mendizabal was told that Mist would relish the soft ground, that he would stay the 2500 metre distance and to not turn the race into a sprint finish. And so, after a slow start, Ioritz decided to take up the running and let Mist gallop at his own speed. He took a breather before the turn to home and then kicked on opening up a 5 length lead on proven horses including second place Carini whose owner HH Aga Khan had supplemented into the race. Surrey Mist powered on to win readily by 4 lengths and produced the best ever Surrey Racing performance. Group racing has to be next on the agenda for 2023.
