Multiple Group Winning 2-year-old & Gr.1 Performer by Mehmas
PRECOCIOUS MULTIPLE GROUP WINNING 2-YEAR-OLD & GR.1 PERFORMER, during the most prestigious British meetings, July week at Newmarket, the York Ebor meeting and Royal Ascot, as well as in Deauville.
At 2, winner of four of his six starts including the JULY STAKES GR.2 at Newmarket, emulating his sire MEHMAS, and the coveted GIMCRACK STAKES GR.2 at York.
At 3, reached his BEST TIMEFORM RATING 116 when denied victory by a head in the ST JAMES'S PALACE STAKES GR.1 over the mile at Royal Ascot, by Coroebus.
Also a close 3rd in the PRIX JEAN PRAT GR.1 over the straight 7f, ahead of both that year's French Guineas winners.
Haras de Bouquetot is delighted to welcome another multiple Group-winning, precocious, and speedy 2-year-old of the caliber of Lusail, and to provide French breeders with an opportunity to access a son of our rising star Mehmas, who had also won the July Stakes Gr.2 at 2.
Lusail is a tough and consistent horse who's also excelled at the highest level at 3 years old, and whose dam is a sister to a Champion sprinter & Royal Ascot Gr.1 winner.

Lusail was one of the most straight forward and relaxed speed machines that I have ever trained. He was top class over 6f-1m, with an excellent temperament to match his ability
