Gezora takes Prix de Diane honours at Chantilly from Bedtime Story

Gezora edged out Bedtime Story to win the Prix de at Chantilly, with Shes Perfect unable to gain Classic compensation after controversially losing the French 1000 Guineas in the stewards’ room.

Trained by Francis-Henri Graffard and ridden by Christophe Soumillon, Gezora raced in the pack through the 10-furlong contest before switched out to launch her challenge with around a furlong and a half to run.

She kept finding for pressure all the way to the line, having enough in reserve to hold off the Aidan O’Brien-trained Bedtime Story, who only narrowly failed to come from last to first under Ryan Moore.

The Charlie Fellowes-trained Shes Perfect turned for home and momentarily looked she would again be involved at the business end, but while she was in front with two furlongs to run, she had raced keenly in second and was ultimately eased by Kieran Shoemark when her chance had gone.
