First Winner for Calyx

Tara Madgwick - Thursday April 6

A brilliant Group II winning sprinter by Kingman, Calyx (GB) shuttled to Coolmore Australia for just two seasons and sired his first winner overnight in France.

Two year-old filly Classic Flower ran out a convincing debut winner at Salon-de-Provence.

The Patrice Cottier-trained first starter was sent off favourite over the minimum trip and was soon settled behind the leaders by Marvin Grandin.  She was strong to the line winning by half a length.
