Finding his niche on Sunday, Samangan (Blue Point) heaped more glory on The Aga Khan Studs and Francis Graffard this season when capturing Deauville's G1 ARC Prix Maurice de Gheest.Slowly working his way up the ladder this term, last year's Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte winner who had been a close fourth in the Prix Jean Prat over seven furlongs here last month was positioned close to the early pace by Mickael Barzalona.Committed with 1 1/2 of the 6 1/2-furlong trip to race, the 9-1 shot stuck tenaciously to his guns to prevail by two short-neck margins from Division (Kingman) and the 5-2 favourite Stolen Kiss (Chachnak).Samangan strikes in the Group One Prix Maurice de Gheest! @AgaKhanStuds | @GraffardRacing pic.twitter.com/p3orpxIslf— At The Races (@AtTheRaces) August 9, 2026The post Maurice De Gheest Glory For Blue Point’s Samangan appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
