Electrolyte claimed his first Group victory at Chantilly.
Doha: Sporting the silk of Wathnan Racing, Electrolyte (Hello Youmzain) claimed his first Group victory when landing the Gr.3 Prix Eclipse at Chantilly on Saturday.
Trained by Lambourn-based Archie Watson, the two-year-old Electrolyte confirmed previous hopes and is now a Gr.3 winner.
In a strong-paced race, Electrolyte led on the near side.
As they entered in the final 400m, Electrolyte went a few lengths clear and showed great determination to hold on the strong late challenge of Polyvega (Lope De Vega) by a nose.
The well-fancied Fraise Des Bois (Zelzal) went third.
Bred by Bibury Partnership, Electrolyte is out of Bibury (Royal Applause).
