Following her impressive debut win at Saint-Cloud three weeks ago, PELLIGRINA by our champion SOLDIER HOLLOW moved into the starting gates as one of the co-favorites in today's G3 Prix de Royaumont at Chantilly, a 2400 m challenge for fillies pursed with €80,000. And the filly should deliver a more than convincing performance that has now moved her to the top three favored horses for this year's French Oaks, the G1 Prix de Diane.
PELLIGRINA ran a remarkable race against top horses in the G3 challenge with Pierre-Charles Boudot in the saddle, when coming from the back of the pack the filly weaved through the field and within just a few jumps had drawn away with ease to secure a two and a half lengths advantage at the post.
