Burke expressed confidence in Arabie's future

Arabie once again showed his class with a victory in the Prix Robert Papin in France at Chantilly on Sunday. The Karl Burke-trained son of Dandy Man, who had previously won the Group Three Prix du Bois over the same course and distance, was partnered by Jim Crowley for this Group Two success.

In a field filled with British raiders, Ed Walker's Celandine led the way, but Arabie, responding well to Crowley's urging, surged ahead to secure the win. Burke, who was absent from the race, praised Arabie's toughness and progress, noting that there is still room for improvement.

Looking ahead, Arabie is set to compete in the Prix Morny in France next month, where he may face his stablemate Shareholder. Burke expressed confidence in Arabie's abilities and acknowledged the challenge of comparing the two promising juveniles. Despite the tough competition, Arabie's talent and determination are undeniable.

Unfortunately for Ralph Beckett's Skellet, who led the Darley Prix Chloe before being edged out by Blush, British raiders faced disappointment in the Prix Messidor won by Caramelito.
