THE five-year-old Siyouni mare Mqse De Sevigne won her fourth Group 1 race on Sunday when registering a comfortable repeat success in the Prix Rothschild.

Trained by Andre Fabre for owner Baron Edouard de Rothschild, Mqse De Sevigne was the odds-on favourite and was always in control under rider Alexis Pouchin, coming home a length clear of Excellent Truth.

The Joseph O'Brien-trained Rogue Millennium finished third, a place ahead of Willie McCreery's Ocean Jewel.

The homebred winner began her Group 1 haul in this race last year, and followed up in the Prix Jean Romanet, also at Deauville, last August. Second to Inspiral in the Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket last October, the mare has won all three of her starts in 2024 - a listed race at ParisLongchamp, the Group 1 Prix d'Ispahan at the same track and now a second Prix Rothschild.

The winner could now step up to a mile and a half for the first time in a bid to provide her trainer with a ninth victory in the the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in October.

De Rothschild told Sky Sports Racing: “It’s a dream, she’s improved a lot and is from a family that gets better with time and with age.

“She’s even better at five than at four and she’s giving us a complete dream. I was telling my children, it will not happen that often!

“We go to the Prix Jean Romanet to prepare for the Arc de Triomphe, that is the route that we discussed.”

Revealing Fabre had told him at the end of last year the Arc would be the aim this season, he added: “Meandre (half-brother to Mqse De Sevigne) won (Group 1) races over 12 furlongs and the family really stays. I think she’s settling now, so she’s not going to waste energy in the beginning of the course, so I think it would be wrong not to try.”
