Cirrus disappoints in Deauville Cirrus Des Aigles had to settle for second place in the Prix Gontaut-Biron Hong Kong Jockey Club at Deauville at this afternoon. Corinne Barande-Barbe's seven-year-old was sent off a 1.9 favourite on the PMU for the Group Three contest and he looked likely to collect for a long way as Olivier Peslier sat just off the pace that had been ensured by Starboard. The distress signs became apparent as the rider asked him to go about his business with two furlongs to travel and with the response not immediate, Petit Chevalier seized his chance and the German raider stayed on doggedly to the line.
