Fabré considering St James's bid for Persian King
Posted in: Royal Ascot News
Andre Fabré is considering the St James's Palace Stakes with Persian King, after winning the French 2000 Guineas at Longchamp at the weekend.
Andre Fabré is considering a tilt at next month's St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot with the French 2000 Guineas winner Persian King, after he justified odds-on favouritism to win at Longchamp on Sunday.

The three-year-old is one of the leading performers in his generation having won five of his six starts so far, and the form of his win in Newmarket's Autumn Stakes last October has been boosted since - with the runner-up Magna Grecia going on to win the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.

However, Fabré admitted that the ground could play a part in his plans for the Godolphin-owned colt, who also holds an entry in the Prix du Jockey Club (French Derby) at Chantilly at the beginning of June.
He said: "He would prefer good ground. The Jockey Club was the long-term plan, so we'll see. The other option is to wait for Ascot, but we'll decide with Sheikh Mohammed and Diane Wildenstein. The Jockey Club seems the obvious target."
Persian King is the current 5/4 favourite for the Prix du Jockey Club.
