Blood-Horse

Now 2-for-2, Showcase benefitted from a skillful, patient ride by jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. and will likely point to the Champagne Stakes (G1) or Breeders' Futurity (G1) next.

The build-up to this year's Prix Jacques le Marois (G1) at Deauville has been dominated by Inspiral, or more specifically the question of who will ride the mare, with connections ultimately opting for Ryan Moore on the 2022 and 2023 winner.
