Overview
- The Karl Burke-trained two-year-old prevailed by a neck over Coventry Stakes winner Gstaad in Deauville’s six-furlong Group 1.
- Clifford Lee secured his first Group 1 success aboard Venetian Sun.
- The six-runner field also included Godolphin’s Wise Approach, Clive Cox’s Coppull, Wesley Ward’s Outfielder and the French-trained Imperial Me Cen.
- Outfielder made the running after being briefly taken out of the stalls and then reloaded before the start.
- The result elevates Venetian Sun’s standing among leading juveniles, with Gstaad narrowly beaten on his return after missing the Phoenix Stakes.
