Brametot snatches French Derby Brametot got up in the final strides to snatch victory in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly. Giving trainer Jean Claude-Rouget a third success in the race, Brametot overcome a poor start to become the first horse since Lope De Vega in 2010 to complete the French 2000 Guineas/Derby double. It looked unlikely for most of the extended mile-and-a-quarter trip, as Brametot was stone last after missing the break from his inside draw. However, his rider Cristian Demuro took his time and switched Brametot to the outside to deliver his challenge in the straight. He still had plenty to do, but managed to overhaul the field and get up in the shadow of the post. Taj Mahal and Be My Sheriff made the early running, while the Williams Haggas-trained Rivet was given every chance by Frankie Dettori but had no answer to the principals in the closing stages. Recoletos led briefly in the final furlong but he was soon headed by Waldgeist, who was reeled in by Brametot on the line.
