There was to be no further major success for Godolphin over the weekend as Moonlight Cloud denied Farhh an elusive Group One in a furious battle for the Prix du Moulin at Longchamp.
It was the fourth time in a row that the likeable Farhh had been forced to settle for the runner-up position in a top-flight race after shaking up Nathaniel in the Eclipse and failing to deal with the small matter of Frankel in both the Sussex Stakes and Juddmonte International.

Shareta shines in Vermeille.

Shareta ran out a convincing winner of the Qatar Prix Vermeille at Longchamp to give trainer Alain de Royer-Dupre his seventh success in the Group One race for fillies and mares.
Once Christophe Lemaire sent the Aga Khan-owned four-year-old into the lead early in the straight, the race was as good as over.
She quickly put daylight between herself and her rivals to win as she liked, following up her victory in the Yorkshire Oaks.

Orfevre stakes Arc claim.

Japan's Triple Crown winner Orfevre advertised his Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe credentials with victory in the Qatar Prix Foy at Longchamp.
Aventino acted as a pacemaker for the Christophe Soumillon-ridden winner, but he did not go much of a gallop, and Andre Fabre's Meandre and Sir Michael Stoute's Fiorente were both pulling furiously in the early stages, with Joshua Tree sitting just behind the pace.
When Orfevre quickened he soon put the race to bed and Meandre stayed on to take second, with Joshua Tree not beaten far in third.
