Prix Niel: can the spring version of Bolshoi Ballet enter the autumn picture?
Bolshoi Ballet won the Cazoo Derby in June. He was struck into early on in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial in May. The horse's ability to gallop rivals into the ground means he is not a hostage to a false pace. Grand Prix de Paris form suggests that French middle-distance colts are more of an indifferent group than those behind Bolshoa Ballett in Ballydoyle pecking order.
30-year Prix Niel record in the Arc. Ten winners, eight completed the double, five placed horses.
Bolshoi Ballet is in good form since his last run at Saratoga. Baby Rider finished second in Grand Prix de Paris. Pretty Tiger's owner hopes for soft ground. Media Stream will like the better ground and Andre Fabre hopes Timour will catch a place. Members' Club is the only subscription racing fans need to stay informed and make smarter betting decisions.
