“The QREC-sponsored Qatar Prix du Jockey Club, one of France’s premier Classic races for three-year-olds, was won by Constitution River yesterday. Hamad bin Abdulrahman al-Attiyah, QREC Chairman, presented the trophies following the Group 1 contest, also known as the French Derby, which attracted a high-class field and produced a memorable one-two-three for trainer Aidan O’Brien. Constitution River confirmed his class with a determined success, becoming a Group 1 winner and taking his record to four wins from five career starts. The race, run over 2100m, featured a strong field, and the talented colt officially earned his first Group 1 title after already showing high-class form at two and on his seasonal return. Trained by O’Brien, ridden by Ryan Moore, and carrying the colours of M. Tabor, D. Smith, Mrs J. Magnier and Westerberg, Constitution River came into the race with a progressive profile and proved his growing credentials. Hawk Mountain finished second, with Montreal taking third, giving Aidan O’Brien a remarkable 1-2-3 in the Classic.
