We had never seen it on the ParisLongchamp racecourse and for this first in the temple of the flat in France, the American owner of GoliathJohn Stewart (with Philip Von Ullmann) made a successful trip: “I’m really delighted because this is my first winner in France and Europe confides the businessman who arrived from Kentucky (KY, USA) on the old continent a few days ago and who was in Ascot (GB) on Saturday during the British Champions Day (which he was also discovering). Already planning for the next race Goliathour interlocutor learns: “It is not common to see the best European horses challenge the Japanese and other competitors from other nations in the Japan Cup and we are very happy to bring Goliath in Tokyo. We think he’s at the top of his game and I’m sure Francis (Graffard) will bring him to the top for the big day. Our jockey (Christophe Soumillon) has already won the Japan Cup (with Epiphaneia1st, and ephemerally with Good View1st behind in 2nd place) and I won’t go there to just watch him race, I’ll go there to win.”
