David Menuisier is focusing on the present as Tamfana prepares for the Prix de Diane Longines at Chantilly on Sunday. Despite being considered unlucky in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, Tamfana is the favourite for the upcoming race.
Menuisier, who had recent success with Devil's Point in Germany, acknowledges the significance of winning a Classic race in his homeland of France. However, he is hesitant to think about the outcome before it happens, preferring to stay grounded.
He believes Tamfana is a top-class filly who will excel at the longer distance of 10 furlongs in the Prix de Diane. Despite the disappointment at Newmarket, Menuisier is confident in Tamfana's abilities and looks forward to the upcoming race.
While Menuisier defended Jamie Spencer's ride at Newmarket, he decided to switch to Oisin Murphy for the Prix de Diane. This decision was not based on Spencer's performance in the Guineas but rather on a previous arrangement with Murphy as the regular rider.
Menuisier reflects on the near-miss at Newmarket but remains positive about the future, focusing on the upcoming race with Murphy as the jockey. He acknowledges that sometimes things don't go as planned in horse racing and looks forward to moving on and continuing with Tamfana's promising career.
