With You beats older fillies and mares in Prix Rothschild
With You, fifth by a half-length in the French Oaks on June 17, won her debut against older fillies and mares in Sunday’s Group 1 Prix Rothschild at a mile on turf at Deauville, France.
Ridden by Aurelien Lemaitre, With You (8-5) stalked pacesetter Crown Walk to the final furlong before pulling away to win by three lengths.
Crown Walk, the winner of the Group 3 Prix Chloe for 3-year-old fillies at Deauville on July 9, held second, finishing a head in front of 7-2 Rosa Imperial, who was fifth against males in the Group 2 Godolphin Mile in Dubai on March 31.
Aljazzi, the winner of the Group 2 Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot on June 20, could only finish fourth, 5 1/4 lengths behind With You.
With You, owned by George Strawbridge and trained by Freddy Head, has won 3 of 5 starts. By Dansili, the 3-year-old With You won her first Group 1 in the $349,620 Prix Rothschild. Last October, With You won the Group 3 Prix des Reservoirs for 2-year-old fillies.
Head mentioned the Group 1 Prix Jacques le Marois against males at a mile at Deauville on Aug. 12 as a possible goal for With You, who gave Lemaitre his first win in a Group 1.
