DARJINA AIMS FOR ASCOT CROWN
Taken from the EBN
Princess Zahra Aga Khan's homebred G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches
victress Darjina (Fr) (ZAMINDAR) will sidestep the June 10 G1
Prix de Diane Hermes at Chantilly in favour of the June 22 G1
Coronation S. at Royal Ascot.
Among the bay sophomore's likely opponents at the Berkshire
venue is dual Classic heroine Finsceal Beo (Ire) (Mr. Greeley), who
was denied the second leg of a historic treble after a thrilling
duel at Longchamp May 13. ‘We've decided Darjina will go to Royal
Ascot for the Coronation S.’ Princess Zahra confirmed. She added,
‘We have several good three-year-old fillies in the stable, and it
is a matter of pointing each for the right race taking into account
their respective abilities. We have others for the Prix de Diane,
so Darjina goes to Ascot.’
