Overview

  • Woodshauna surged from last under Christophe Soumillon to overhaul Maranoa Charlie and The Lion In Winter and win the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat at Deauville.
  • The colt, acquired for £625,000 by John Stewart’s Resolute Bloodstock after a Group 3 victory in May, rewarded his new ownership with a top-tier triumph.
  • Francis-Henri Graffard opted to skip Royal Ascot and commended Woodshauna’s physical progress and competitive spirit in this step up.
  • Graffard has identified the Prix Maurice de Gheest as the colt’s next major engagement.
  • Maranoa Charlie, finishing second, is slated to contest the City of York Stakes for Bond Thoroughbreds under trainer Christopher Head.
