Breeders’ Cup option for Moulin victor Dreamloper

-

Ed Walker’s Dreamloper could be headed Stateside after her decisive Prix du
Moulin victory at ParisLongchamp on Sunday.

The five-year-old enjoyed a triumphant start to the campaign, taking the Group Two Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket in May before journeying to Paris to land the Group One Prix d’Ispahan by two lengths later in the same month.

Her winning spell was ended next time out in the Curragh’s Pretty Polly Stakes as she was unsuited by the 10-furlong trip and the soft going, with a tilt at Goodwood’s Nassau Stakes also ending in defeat over the same distance.

Back at Longchamp the bay was also back to her best, relishing the drop down in trip to a mile and cruising to a five-and-a-half-length victory under Kieran Shoemark.

There was a sombre postscript to the race, however, as Charlie Appleby’s Guineas winner Coroebus was fatally injured after stumbling and falling just over a furlong from home.
