DARJINA IS ON TARGET
Darjina (ZAMINDAR) is on target for a
showdown with dual Classic winner Finsceal Beo in the Coronation
Stakes on Friday.
The unbeaten filly, trained by Alain de Royer-Dupre, got up in the
dying strides to beat Finsceal Beo by a head in the French 1,000
Guineas at Chantilly.
Either side of that narrow defeat, Jim Bolger’s star had landed the
British and Irish versions of the mile Classic.
‘The Coronation Stakes is the objective for Darjina,’ said
Georges Rimaud, racing manager to owner Princess Zahra Aga Khan.
‘She has done well since the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches. She
worked at the beginning of the week and is on target. Finsceal Beo
is a tremendous filly of great quality, so it is very nice for this
filly to have beaten her once. We’ll see what happens next
time.’
