Christophe Soumillon guides Andromede towards the finish line.
Doha: The five-year-old, Andromede (Sea The Stars) landed the Gr.3 Prix Bertrand de Tarragon at Chantilly on Saturday.
Owned by H H Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Thani, the homebred mare is trained by Francis-Henri Graffard.
Ridden by Christophe Soumillon, Andromede raced wide in midfield in a strong run affair led by Sea The Lady (Sea The Moon).
Once in the final straight, the consistent mare gradually closed into the lead to win by a head.
Bred by Al Shahania Stud, Andromede is out of a Listed winner Honor Bound (Authorized), who is a half-sister to dual Gr.1 winner Treasure Beach (Galileo), half-sister to Listed winner Elidor (Cape Cross) and half-sister to Gr.2 placed Count Octave (Frankel).
