A very good second place was the result for SOLDIER HOLLOW's EMOJI in her first outing at group level today at Paris-Longchamp. EMOJI ran a solid race under Pierre-Charles Boudot in the €56,000 Prix Vanteaux, a G3 challenge for three-year-old fillies run over 1800m, but had to give in to strong winner. The SOLDIER HOLLOW daughter is in training with Francis-Henri Graffard for Team Valor. The filly raced in Germany as a two-year-old and had drawn attention to herself with a brilliant debut win. Immediately after her move to France, she was able to establish herself as a Listed winner and has a nomination for the French oaks, the G1 Prix de Diane to be held in July.
