On Thursday evening at Sandown, in the Chasemore Farm Henry II Stakes, Caius Chorister is out to extend David Menuisier's winning streak.
Although the five-year-old horse has come a long way since winning her maiden race in May 2022 off a mark of 53, nevertheless she reached a new height with her recent outing.
After winning the German 2000 Guineas in the same Clive Washbourn colours for Devil's Point, she was almost denied by Coltrane in the Sagaro Stakes on her debut race over two miles.
“She proved the other day that she can hold her own in the stayers’ division, she came out of the race well so I expect her to run another good race,” said Menuisier. “Seemingly she is still improving and that is all credit to her, she’s unbelievable. Even in the Sagaro the other day I wasn’t sure what to expect, she absolutely stunned me. The owner was confident she would win! She’s truly unbelievable, such a superstar. Every time she steps up on a trip she improves, she doesn’t help herself by being fresh but she flies home. This time around the conditions are different and the others have had a run, Trueshan and Sweet William, so you would expect them to improve, but we won’t go there worrying too much about the opposition, we’ll just do what we can and hope that is enough to win.”
