Following a remarkable victory in the Prix Ganay at ParisLongchamp, trainer Francis-Henri Graffard has set his sights on Royal Ascot with Daryz. The four-year-old son of Sea The Stars made a flawless start to the season, building on his impressive win in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe last October. Despite some setbacks in his previous outings, Daryz demonstrated his exceptional talent with a commanding performance in the Prix Ganay, leaving the competition in his wake. With this win, Daryz has cemented his position as a potential superstar and is expected to continue his winning streak.
According to Nemone Routh, manager for Daryz's owners, the Aga Khan Studs in France, the horse will likely participate in the Prix Aga Khan IV and the Prince of Wales's Stakes in June, with a potential drop in distance. Routh expressed confidence in Daryz's ability to thrive in various pace scenarios, stating that the horse is at his best when allowed to stride out and follow any pace.
With a promising season ahead, Daryz is poised to defend his Arc title and make a lasting impression in the world of horse racing.
