Our Derby winner of last year competed in today's €130,000 Prix Foy at Gr.2 level at Paris-Longchamp, and like in several of his outings this year, was not pursued by luck. After a perfect race along the inside trails, Adrie de Vries couldn't find a passage for SAMMARCO in the final straight for a long time. When a gap finally opened up, the Camelot colt pulled away magnificently and fought his way to an excellent third place with a veritable firework of speed, crossing the finish line just only half a length behind the two first-place finishers, both steady Gr.1 winners.
