Darley's Dalham Hall Stud-based first-season sire Harry Angel (Ire) had his first Northern Hemisphere black-type winner on Thursday as Highclere Thoroughbred Racing's colt Proverb (Ire) made a successful overseas foray in the Listed Criterium de Vitesse at ParisLongchamp. Last seen doubling his tally in a Windsor novice over this five-furlong trip Oct. 17, the George Boughey-trained 13-2 shot recovered from a slow start to track the rail-running leader Disillusion (Ire) (Profitable {Ire}). Sent by that rival by Kevin Stott before halfway, the bay showed grit to eke out a neck verdict for the landmark score.
